STANLEY Tape Measure, Chrome, 25-Foot (33-425)

Description

With a Tru-Zero end hook, a Mylar-coated blade, and a
secure blade lock, the STANLEY 25 ft. PowerLock Tape Measure ensures precise
measurements and long-lasting durability. The Stanley Powerlock
25-Foot by 1-Inch Measuring Tape is a classic, and for good reason. Designed
for professionals and weekend warriors alike, this top-notch product offers
maximum usability in all types of measuring situations. Equipped with a range
of useful goodies, the highly-portable tape will meet just about anyone’s
needs. Standard features include a lockable blade for precise measurements and
minimal slippage, a belt hook for easy access, a 1-inch wide blade for easy
reading, and 16-inch and 19.2-inch stud center markings. Plus, Stanley has
added a heat-treated spring to increase the tape’s lifespan.Two unique
features make this tape a standout. First, the blade is coated with mylar to
help it stand up to abrasion associated with repeated use. Second, the
patented Tru-Zero hook doubles as a pivot for drawing circles and arcs, and it
automatically adjusts to handle inside or outside measurements. What this
means is that the hook on the end has a small amount of play that is
equivalent to the thickness of the hook blade. This is so that when you
measure with the hook inside a stop (like a window jam), the front end of the
hook is the zero point. When you hook it over the edge of a board, the zero
point becomes the back of the hook.Stanley does make a host of other measuring
tools that may be worth checking out. At such a great price, most users can’t
go wrong with this one.What’s in the Box 25-foot by 1-inch measuring tapeThe
