BRUIN Tape Measure – 16 ft., Black, Thick Blade, Waterproof
BRUIN Tape Measure – 16 ft., Black, Thick Blade, Waterproof
The BRUIN Tape Measure is a 16 ft. waterproof tape measure with a thick black blade, for measuring in wet fabrication shops.
There are two 16 ft. house-brand tapes in this catalogue and the blade is what separates them: this one is the thick black blade, and the TAHOE Tape Measure – 16 ft. is the thin silver blade. A thicker blade is stiffer, which matters when you are standing a tape out across a slab on your own. Blade width, standout and the blade material are not published for this tape.
