The Crescent Lufkin® Shockforce Tape has a matt nylon blade that provides extended product life and glare reduction. The blade is dual-sided, with a vertical quick-read scale on the underside for overhead and hard-to-reach measurements. It offers an impressive unassisted standout of 4.3m (14ft). Fitted with a diamond-coated end hook that grabs material from every direction and prevents slippage. Narrow blade technology offers reduced weight, ideal when carrying a tape all day on the job site. Its optimised drum and spring design are contained within a compact case that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. A steel tether point offers increased safety capability when working at height and if you drop the tape it will survive a fall of up to 100ft. The steel tether point can also be used for scribing and drawing arcs during layout.
