Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KOMELON from 3G Electric.
What lengths are available in KOMELON standard inch tape measures?
KOMELON standard SAE tape measures are listed in 25 ft and 30 ft lengths. The 25 ft model (MPN SS125) uses a double-sided blade with 1/16 in markings and a manual lock. The 30 ft model (MPN SS130) uses a single-sided blade with 1/16 in increments and feet markings. Both have a corrosion-resistant plastic body with a blue rubberized grip and a nonmagnetic double hook tip. The 25 ft version is suited to general layout where reading from either side of the blade is useful, while the 30 ft version covers longer runs. Both are SAE inch only and do not include metric markings.
What is the difference between KOMELON single-wheel and dual-wheel measuring wheels?
KOMELON measuring wheels are available in spoked single-wheel and spoked dual-wheel configurations, both with plastic tread and a 10,000 ft range. Single-wheel models include the MK3112, 00-ML1212, and MK6012, with fixed handles and either pistol-grip or twist-and-lock mechanisms. The dual-wheel model (00-MK1212-DW) uses a fixed handle with a twist-and-lock mechanism and is specified for indoor and outdoor use. Dual-wheel designs distribute load across two contact points, which can help on uneven surfaces. All models are mechanical, read in SAE inches, and require no batteries. Selection depends on surface conditions and whether the task is indoor, outdoor, or both.
Are KOMELON utility blades compatible with the KOMELON utility knife?
KOMELON replacement utility blades (MPN LU6-10J) are straight-edge standard-tip blades with 3/4 in width and 0.01 in thickness. The KOMELON utility knife (MPN UDS-N6) is a manually opening multi-tool knife that includes three blades and a pocket clip. The knife uses a 4 in high carbon steel blade and a plastic handle. The replacement blades are intended for cutting cardboard, plastic sheeting, plastic strapping, and light packaging materials. Because the knife ships with three blades and the replacement blades are listed as standard-tip utility blades, they are the matching consumable for that knife. Confirm blade dimensions against the knife's holder before ordering in volume.
Do KOMELON measuring wheels require batteries or external power?
No. KOMELON measuring wheels are mechanical and battery-free. Models such as the MK3112, 00-ML1212, 00-MK1212-DW, and MK6012 use a spoked wheel with plastic tread and a fixed handle, and they read distance in SAE inches up to 10,000 ft. Because there is no battery or electronic display, operation depends only on the wheel and counter mechanism. This suits field use where power sources are unavailable and reduces maintenance to mechanical inspection. The trade-off is that readings are not stored or transferred electronically; the user records the value manually. For long-distance layout in construction, landscaping, or facility work, the mechanical design keeps the tool simple and repairable.
What materials are used in KOMELON tape measure housings and blades?
KOMELON tape measures use a corrosion-resistant plastic body with a rubberized grip in blue. The blade is steel with 1/16 in markings and feet markings, and the tip is a nonmagnetic double hook. The 25 ft model (SS125) has a double-sided blade, while the 30 ft model (SS130) has a single-sided blade. Both use a manual lock. The rubberized grip is intended to improve handling in general construction and maintenance conditions. The nonmagnetic tip allows the tape to be hooked onto edges without relying on magnetic attraction. These material choices are consistent across the standard inch tape measure range.
Which KOMELON measuring wheel is specified for outdoor use?
The KOMELON MK6012 is listed as a mechanical outdoor measuring wheel with a 10,000 ft range. It uses a spoked single wheel with rubber tread and a plastic frame, a fixed handle with pistol grip, and SAE inch readout. The 00-MK1212-DW dual-wheel model is specified for indoor and outdoor use. The MK3112 and 00-ML1212 are single-wheel models listed for outdoor and indoor tasks respectively. For outdoor surfaces, the rubber tread on the MK6012 and the dual-wheel configuration of the 00-MK1212-DW are the relevant options. All are mechanical and battery-free. Selection should account for surface type, distance, and whether the wheel will be used across both indoor and outdoor areas.
