Measure with precision using this everyday-carry tape measure from Stanley. Engineered to strike a balance of size, performance, and comfort, the CONTROL-LOCK features a finger brake for controlled blade retraction, a durable blade coating, and a rugged case built for everyday job site use.

• 16 ft tape length with 12 ft of standout reach for solo overhead and across-room measuring
• Finger brake on the case controls blade retraction for safer recoil
• BladeArmor coating on the first 3 inches reinforces the hook end against wear
• Tru-Zero dual-sided hook grabs edges from either side and doubles as a pivot for arcs and circles
• Polymer blade coating resists abrasion and ink smudging
• Imperial fractional graduations (1/16" major, 1/32" minor) with stud and joist markers
• ABS plastic case sized for a tool belt clip

Best for: general handyman work, light remodeling, hanging shelves and cabinets, and most around-the-house jobs where 16 ft covers room dimensions in one pull.

Tip: Use the 12 ft standout to measure a doorway header or ceiling height by yourself - extend the blade horizontally to the wall, then read at the case.
