With a military-grade composite case that's up to 20% more compact than the rival tape measures, this Spec Ops 25' TapeMeasure packs a lot of precision in the palm of your hand. The 1-1/8" MIL-X coated blade offers up to 2X durability while providing the highest visibility and contrast with a bright, white blade for precise measurement reading and marking in dark spaces. The MIL-X blade also has double-sided markings for taking measurements overhead or in hard to reach spots. This tape measure boasts a true 10-foot blade standout for maximum reach and a non-slip hook designed with added burrs to securely grip surfaces for ultimate control when taking long measurements. The speed lock quickly halts the blade for one-handed use when marking or scribing measurements.
