Tape Measures

The best of the best tape measures for everyday tasks—from Stanley to Lufkin to Milwaukee. Built to last, these tape measures have a coating on the blade that prevents the graduations from wearing or scratching off. Their durable plastic case won't crack when tossed into tool bags or dropped on the ground.

Stanley

Your standard Stanley tape measures.

1/8" Numeric Graduations—The graduations are labeled every _1/8" for fast reading. No need to count individual hash marks.

Lufkin Shockforce Series

Drop tested to 120 ft., these tape measures still work even if they fall from a 10-story building. A vinyl-coated case and raised metal edges on the front make them extra durable for tackling the toughest jobs, such as construction. Plus, the blade is extra wide, so you can extend it at least 11 ft. before it collapses. Loop a lanyard into the tether point to secure these tape measures when working from catwalks and other heights.

Starrett with Calibration Certificate

Image of Product. Front orientation. Tape Measures. Starrett.

When precision measurements are required for quality control or by regulation, use a tape measure that includes a calibration certificate traceable to NIST. The certificate states that the tape measure has passed a test for accuracy, so you can be confident your measurements are correct and consistent.

Tape Measures for Low Light

No need to juggle a flashlight when measuring inside machines and other dimly lit spaces. An LED lights up the blade on these tape measures so you can read them in the dark. The battery lasts 2 ½ hours; recharge it with the included USB.

Coated Steel Blade—A coating prevents the graduations from wearing or scratching off. Made of steel, these blades stay stiff when extended and won't stretch if pulled too hard, so they maintain their accuracy over time. They also keep their shape if dragged over rough surfaces, such as concrete.

Vinyl-Coated Metal Case—Choose metal cases for your toughest industrial jobs, from construction to machining. These cases resist breaking due to hard hits and drops. However, they're heavier to carry around than plastic cases.

Multifunction Tape Measures

Measure distance, level objects, and draft circles with one tool. A jack of all trades, these tape measures include a vial level and a compass for drawing circles up to 20 ft. in diameter. You don’t have to crimp the blade to measure inside drawers and other objects—a top window shows the length from the tip of the blade to the back of the case.

Center-Finding Tape Measures

Locate the exact midpoint of a workpiece without doing math. Just measure the total distance with the upper scale, then find the same number on the bottom scale—that's your center.

Diameter-Measuring Tape Measures

Wrap around duct, pipe, and other cylindrical objects to find their diameter without complex calculations. These tape measures are ideal for already mounted objects since you don't need to take your system apart. Also known as tree tapes.

Standard Scale

Take math out of the equation completely. After wrapping the blade around an object, find the number that overlaps with zero—that's your diameter.

Manual Blade Return—Guide the blade back by hand or using the wheel on the side of the case.

Coated Steel Blade—A coating on the blade prevents the graduations from wearing or scratching off.

Long Tape Measures with Automatic Blade Return

Save yourself the effort of cranking the blade back after measuring far distances. These tape measures automatically recoil unless you press the brake or hook the tip onto a stud. A bumper cushions the hook so it won’t slam into the case. With a blade long enough to measure a semi-trailer, these tape measures extend 50 ft. or farther.
