For jobs requiring survey measurements in particularly harsh climates, nylon-coated steel tapes are flexible, durable, and will not change dimension in even the most severe weather conditions.
Most feature handholds and ground spikes to keep them positioned while spooling out for a reading, and a charging handle for quick roll-up.
Both open and closed housings are available, and tape length ranges from 100 to 300 feet.
Replacement tape is also available.
