Lufkin Drop-Tested Tape Measures for Low Light

Inch

Inch/Metric

A black blade with bright yellow graduation marks makes these tape measures easy to read, even in low-light and high-glare locations. Drop-tested to 120 ft., they can fall from a 10-story office building and still work. All have a double-hook tip that grabs from the top and bottom.

Slide the lock on manual-lock tape measures to hold the blade in place. Tape measures with a magnetic-hook tip attach to metal surfaces to help vertical and distance measuring. However, the magnetic tip is strong, so it can accidentally attach to metal and collect shards of ferrous material that impact measurement accuracy.
