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.

A fan favorite for a reason. With an extra protective coating on the the blade and a thick, rubber cover on the case, these tape measures outlast the toughest jobs, from construction to machining. The blade is extra wide, so you can extend it at least 11 ft. before it collapses. All are precision made and tested in the U.S.

Control how fast the blade retracts without pinching your fingers. A slot underneath these tape measures gives you access to the blade while guarding your fingers from the hook.

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.

Whether you're under bright machine lights or inside dark crawl spaces, never lose sight of your measurements. The matte black blade on these tape measures reduces glare, while the neon markings pop against the dark background.

Our widest blade for the farthest reach. These tape measures extend at least 13 ft. without collapsing, so you can take long measurements on your own. Control how fast the blade retracts without pinching your fingers—a slot underneath gives you access to the blade while guarding your fingers from the hook.

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.
