The Stanley Grip Pocket Tape has an impact resistant ABS plastic that has been encased in a sheath of shock absorbing, high-grip rubber. Providing protection against accidental knocks or drops. The rubber grips to the work surface, making it ideal for roofing and uneven work areas. It has a nylon coated blade that features both metric and imperial markings along its length, printed in clear black and red ink on a bright yellow background. The blade is not only easy to read, it also delivers excellent levels of stand-out, at around 3m. The tape features durable compression lock technology, locking the blade in place.
