LufkinHV1312 3/4-Inch x 12 Hi-Viz½ Orange Power Return Tape Measure

I have been using these tape measures for over 20 years of construction, roofing and all of my simple home projects and they are one of the tapes out there. They fit in the hand well are easy to read and last forever. I ordered a couple more before I can't find them anymore. If you need a good, dependable, accurate tape measure that fits easily even in smaller hands, get one or two of these!! You won't be disappointed. :)

We have been using these exact tape measures for over 25 years in my custom cabinet and furniture shop.Still using a couple that are at least 20 years old.We have tried all the other brands and none come even close to lasting as long.They can really take a beating.They stay calibrated with repeated snap closings.The problem is they are getting hard to find at retail stores.I hope Lufkin keeps making them.

What you see is not what you get here.I truly wish it was, but they still have not updated the picture.I liked the size of the one pictured here, but now they have a 1/4" rubber coating which I knowlonger can hold in my hands.

Great tool. Works well. Very rugged. Really like the zip line...retracts well and ready to use each and every time. It appears the measurements are accurate. No complaints at all. A must for my woodshop. I now own two of them...that alone shows the tape measure value to me.

I have used Lufkin for years and their tools have always been accurate.I highly recommend it for everyday use.

The ruler delivered does not look like the picture. The old model is picture and I would rather have the old model.

Best tape ever
