    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.

    The thumb button easily glides when you press it and holds the blade firmly in place, so it won't creep forward or backward as you work.

    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.

    Flexible Tape Measures

    Whether you're finding the length of winding cables or the circumference of drive belts, these tape measures accurately measure around corners and curves. Made of coated fiberglass, they're soft enough to wrap into a coil, yet strong enough that they won't stretch, so they stay accurate over time. Brass caps prevent the ends from fraying and tearing.
