Specifications

Pro-Tip: To extend the life of your tape measure, avoid letting the blade "snap" back into the housing at full speed. Use the integrated finger brake to slow the retraction as the hook nears the case; this prevents the hook from bending and ensures your measurements stay accurate to the 1/16-inch for years to come.
