Yellow 16-foot tape measure in ergonomic case with self-lock button and fractional markings

Self-lock 16' tape measure with hi-vis blade and fractional markings

SKU CH-A2EZ-V1H6F

A 16' tape measure with a self-locking blade, high-visibility fractional markings, double-sided printing, nylon coating and stud indicators

  • Automatic blade lock holds measurements without manual effort
  • Hi-vis blade with printed fractions speeds up reading
  • Double-sided scale lets you measure from any angle
  • Nylon coating protects blade from wear and tear
  • 16-inch stud markings simplify framing layout

16-foot self-locking tape measure

This 16-foot tape measure features a patented self-locking mechanism that holds the blade automatically when extended. A push-button release retracts the blade smoothly into the case. The design suits tradespeople and DIY users who need fast, one-handed operation on the job site.

Upgrade from manual-lock tapes

It replaces tape measures that require a manual thumb lock to hold the blade. The jump is worth it when you repeatedly measure alone and need the blade to stay put without fumbling for a lock. The automatic lock saves time on layout work and reduces blade creep during marking.

Fits a tool belt or pocket

The ergonomic case fits comfortably in the palm and slips into a standard tool pouch. Nylon coating protects the blade from abrasion, while double-sided printing with fractional graduations lets you read measurements from any angle. Stud markings every 16 inches speed up framing layout.

Questions about this item

What width and depth does the 16' tape measure case need in a tool pouch or belt clip?

The compact ergonomic case is designed to fit comfortably in the palm and slips into standard tool pouches or belt clips without extra bulk.

How do I engage the self-lock and retract the blade without jamming it?

Pull the blade out and it locks automatically; press the release button once to retract smoothly — do not force the blade back by hand.

When should I replace the blade if the nylon coating wears or fractions fade?

Replace the blade when the nylon coating shows abrasion or the printed fractions and stud markings become hard to read.
