This Steel Tape (ST_3X and ST_Y) series is great for those who need a longer tape but like the blade protection that a closed house offers. They slip easily into a pocket, purse, tool pouch or tool belt. The ST_Y versions come with a belt clip. The cases are protected by an impact reducing rubber grip that makes it easier to hang on to them.

• Lacquer coated blade
• 3X gearing for quick rewind (part numbers that end in 3X)
• High-impact resistant case with full-rubber, non-slip grip
• Ideal for real estate agents, general surveying, civil engineering, building construction, highway and road construction, home building, mining, etc.
• 3/8-inch wide blade — bends easily but not affected by wind like wider tapes
