Weha Stainless Steel Waterproof Tape Measure, 16-Foot

The Weha Stainless Steel Waterproof Tape Measure is designed for the demanding conditions found in stone fabrication shops and installation environments. Its 16-foot-long, 1-inch-wide stainless steel blade resists rust and corrosion for dependable use around water, slurry, dirt and mud.

A patented hollow body allows debris and moisture to pass through the tape-measure housing for easier cleaning. Extend the blade and flush the body with water or compressed air to remove accumulated material.

The blade markings are laser etched directly onto the 301 stainless steel rather than applied as a surface film. This construction eliminates concerns about a printed film peeling away during use.

Typical Applications

• Stone fabrication shops
