    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.

    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.

    Image of Specification. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Liquid-Level Tape Measures. Measures Liquid Removed from Tank.
    Liquid removed from tank tape measures have a rectangular plumb bob. To find the amount of liquid removed from a tank, lower the plumb bob until it makes contact with the liquid’s surface, then add the measurement from the plumb bob to the measurement from the blade. To determine the amount of liquid in the tank, subtract the liquid removed from tank measurement from the overall tank height.
    Black Steel—Black steel blades are for measuring clear liquids. They have wear-resistant etched markings.
    Stainless Steel—Stainless steel blades are corrosion-resistant. Use them in clear and dark liquids. They have wear-resistant etched markings.
