Reliable measuring for busy jobsites

For carpenters, remodelers, and quick estimations, the STANLEY PowerLock Tape Measure delivers dependable performance in a compact 16 ft format. The 0.75 inch wide blade combines clear English and metric graduations, making it easy to read measurements at a glance. A Mylar polyester film coats the blade, helping defend against scuffs and wear so the markings stay legible longer. The chrome high‑impact ABS case is designed to withstand demanding environments, giving you a tool that can handle daily site use without slipping from your hand.

Durability and accuracy you can rely on

The positive blade lock resists creeping during measurements, so your markings stay true to your initial line. A corrosion‑resistant Tru‑zero end hook adds consistency when starting and ending measurements, supported by a heat treated spring that prolongs the blade’s life. The blade also features 16 inch and 19.2 inch stud center markings, which are especially helpful for framing and layout tasks.

The blade remains rigid for easier handling and readable measurements up to about 7 feet away, reducing the need for constant repositioning. These design choices come together to offer a practical, on‑site tool that pairs everyday convenience with sturdy construction.
