22 Jan 19: The 100 foot closed reel steel tape features a classic vinyl clad steel case design. It has a rugged rewind mechanism for single user convenience and nylon rollers at case opening to reduce blade wear and for sustained field use. Blades are produced with high visibility, easy-to-read graduations of .125 inches (1/8), and a folding hook ring. The 1/8th inch graduation is great for taking lines from boats and creating a Table of Offsets in Feet-Inches-Eighths, example 3 feet, 4 1/8th inches would read 3-4-6. The feature I like about this tape is that cumulative feet are marked along the tape, so instead of seeing 962 inches we read 80 feet, 2 inches. We picked this one up at auction.
