    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.

    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.
    Automatic Blade Lock—Extend the blade and it locks in place automatically. These tape measures are especially useful for solo jobs since they free up your hands for other tasks.
