No tape measure is faster or easier to use. Extend tape blade and it automatically locks in position anywhere you stop. When you are done measuring or marking, press and hold thumb release button and tape retracts smoothly into housing.
The compact, rounded shape of the tough stainless steel housing is designed for the most comfortable fit in your hand. Non-slip, rubber grips give you extra control, preventing drops. Snap the thick spring steel clip onto your tool belt, pouch or pocket and this tape goes anywhere you go.
The versatile four-rivet, over/under end hook grabs onto top, bottom and side edges, keeping the tape upright and readable. For accurate inside and outside measurements, the hook slides to compensate for hook thickness.
Coated with wear-resistant nylon and marked in high-contrast black on yellow, the fractional scale blade has a readout at every 1/8 in. and precise 1/32 graduations throughout. Stud centers are in red every 16 in. and diamond marks every 19.2 in. let you quickly divide 8 foot sections into 5 equal spacings. A low glare finish makes tape easier to read in a variety of conditions, from inside lighting to the sunny outdoors.
