Klein Tools 86216 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What lengths does the Klein Tools double hook magnetic tape measure come in?
Three lengths: 16 foot (model 86216), 25 foot (86225), and 30 foot (86230). All three share the same double hook magnetic head, orange ABS case, and belt clip, so you can standardize a crew on one style and just pick the blade length that suits the work.
2) Will the magnetic hooks hold on conduit and steel studs for one-man measuring?
That is what the dual angle magnetic hooks are built for. They grab conduit and steel studs so you can pull a measurement solo without a helper holding the end. The double hook design means the tip catches from either direction. Keep it away from sensitive electronics and computer equipment, since the magnets can affect them.
3) Can an electrician use this tape measure on live circuits?
No. The tape is not insulated and must not be used on live circuits. The steel blade conducts. De-energize before measuring in a panel or near live conductors, and wear eye protection.
4) Does this Klein tape help with conduit bending offsets?
Yes, the conduit bending table is printed right on the blade, so you can work out offsets and saddles at the bench without pulling out a chart or a phone. That is the feature that separates it from a general construction tape.
5) How fine are the markings on the Klein double hook tape, and is it metric or imperial?
Imperial only, SAE graduations down to 1/16 inch, with bold lines printed every 1/8 inch for quick reading. There is no metric scale on the blade, so if your drawings are in millimeters this is the wrong tape.
6) How far will the blade stand out unsupported when I'm measuring overhead?
Up to 9-1/2 feet of stand-out, which covers most overhead runs and long spans where you cannot get to the far end. The blade carries a heavy-duty nylon coating that protects the printing from wear at the same time.
7) Does the blade lock in position, and does it snap back hard on retraction?
The tape locks, so you can hold a reading, and it uses automatic rewind with a retraction speed brake that slows the blade on the way in. The brake is there to keep fingers off a fast-moving blade and to stop the hook slamming the case. Never let it retract at full speed, and never open the case, the spring motor is under tension.
8) Will the belt clip on this tape hold on a wide electrician's tool belt?
The back clip is oversized specifically for wide belts and is deep enough to sit securely in a pocket rather than ride out. The case is orange ABS plastic, so it is easy to spot when you set it down on a jobsite.
9) Is this tape readable from both sides of the blade?
Yes, it is a double sided closed case tape, so markings run on both faces of the blade. Useful when you are reading a measurement off a stud or conduit from underneath rather than looking down on it.
