 Stanley
tape measures introduces the Stanley® PowerLock® 25' Tape Rule with BladeArmorT
Coating, a patented 3M industrial thermoplastic coating that helps prevent
tapes from breaking during uncontrolled retractions.
The BladeArmorT coating is applied to the first six inches of the tape
rule, where Stanley research shows 90-percent of traditional stanley tape
measures rule breakage occurs. BladeArmorT coating is an exceptionally
strong, flexible, durable film that reduces tape breakage by two times.
In fact BladeArmorT coating is so durable, The United States military uses it to protect aircraft parts such as the rotor blades on Sikorsky® BLACK HAWK helicopters."The Stanley® PowerLock® Tape Rule is one of the most popular tape rules on jobsites around the globe as a result of its legendary durability, reliability and accuracy," said Miguel Nistal, Vice President Hand Tools. "With the addition of Blade ArmorT, the new PowerLock® Tape Rule should endear itself to another generation of satisfied users."The tape is housed in a rounded, compact chrome-plated casing that is 10-percent smaller than the previous Stanley® PowerLock® Tape Rule.
For greater durability and convenience, the case features a protective wearplate to prevent the case from being cut by the blade. A belt clip on the back of the case helps keep users from leaving the tape in areas where it can be easily broken or stolen. The forward lock provides easy blade locking and unlocking for accurate
measurement. When the forward lock is pushed down and locked, the tape
rule will not retract unless the user unlocks the lock, allowing the stanley
tape measures to retract freely.
