New tool measures up
Auto lock tape measures are redesigned with a handful of features and improvements.
Crescent/Lufkin, a premier brand of hand tools from Apex Tool Group, is rolling out a new line of Auto Lock Tape Measures. These tools have been redesigned for comfort, durability, and ease of use, the company said.
The new products are offered in three styles: 1" x 25' Standard, 1" x 25' Magnetic, and 25mm x 8m Metric. All boast a Hi-Viz orange case that is easy to see on a jobsite and is designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The Auto Lock function keeps the blade locked in extended position until you depress the release button for retraction.
Standard and Magnetic versions feature vertical “quick read” markings that show both fractional and decimal measurements. The Metric blade contains both metric and imperial markings. Dual magnets in the end hook of the Magnetic tape are powerful enough to serve as a pick-up tool.
“These new Auto Lock tape measures are built with user wants and needs in mind,” said Kevin Fitzpatrick, product manager. “They provide versatility and ease of use on the job site, plus amazing comfort and durability at an affordable price.”
