Stanley Powerlock Tape Measure

Key Features:

• Blade: High-quality steel with Mylar® polyester film coating (extends blade life 10x vs. uncoated; resists abrasion, wear, and chemicals).
• End Hook: Tru-Zero® corrosion-resistant hook (moves slightly to compensate for inside/outside measurements; often 3-rivet for strength—40% stronger on longer models).
• Case: High-impact chrome ABS plastic (job-site tough, slim for pockets/belts).
• Lock: Secure thumb-operated blade lock (no creeping during use).
• Belt Clip: Removable for easy carry.
• Standout: Good reach before blade bends (e.g., 19mm wide blades on 5m+ offer better extension).
• Blade Print: Usually one side (clear black/red markings); some models have stud-center markings (16″ / 19.2″ for framing, though less relevant in metric SA use).
• Accuracy: Class II (standard for most pro tapes).
