'Throwback' Tape Measures with Modern Features
Lufkin, a premium tool brand from Apex Tool Group (Sparks, MD) has an-
nounced that its new Legacy Series tapes are now available for purchase at select
hardware stores, home centers, and online retailers, bringing modern features and
improved performance to a classic tape measure design. The Legacy Series vin-
tage square-label, mirror-chrome casing is a throwback to what might have hung
on tool belts in the 1960s. Its build, however, is pure modern day, with the latest
in durability, performance and control technologies, says Lufkin. Features include:
• Hi-Viz orange ribbed accent stripes that improve grip while providing a
striking design signature.
• An extra wide sliding lock button, adding
comfort and control, and easing the release
and return of the blades, which are ny-
lon-coated for improved durability.
• Matte finished blades, reducing glare and
improving contrast to aid precision under any lighting condition.
• Availability in five different lengths. The 12-inch tape has a 3/4-inch blade,
while the 16', 25', 30' and 35' tapes each feature a quad-riveted life-extend-
ing end hook and one-inch wide blades that deliver eight feet of standout.
