A new self-centering tape measure
Crescent/Lufkin, a premier hand tool brand from Apex Tool Group, today announced the introduction of a redesigned version of its Self-Centering Tape Measure. The preoduct makes finding the midpoint of measurements quick and easy. Improvements include a new ergonomic case for added comfort and a quad-rivet end hook for extended blade life, the company said.
The Crescent/Lufkin Self-Centering Tape Measure heops hanging pictures, finding the midpoints of walls, and many other measuring jobs around the house. It features unique blade markings, resulting in a tape that takes the math out of finding the midpoint of any measured distance. A black upper scale shows the actual measurement; a lower scale directly beneath it shows the midpoint in red. For example, if the upper scale reads 2-1/4", the lower scale will show 1-1/8".
“This Self-Centering Tape Measure has been improved based on extensive analysis of user needs,” said Kevin Fitzpatrick, product manager – branded trade tools. “The new dual material co-molded case fits the hand and provides improved comfort and control, while the new quad‑rivet end hook will provide substantially longer blade life.”
