IDEAL AUTO-LOCK(TM) Tape Measure Has Graphics on Both Sides

SYCAMORE, IL -- Bending electrical conduit for overhead installation can be frustrating. It requires frequent measuring to assure the correct bend length, a job made all the more difficult by standard tape measures that have graphics on only one side - the wrong side for viewing overhead.

The IDEAL AUTO-LOCK is different. Its one-inch wide blade has bold black numbers on both sides to eliminate the need to twist the tape by hand to read a measurement. This simple enhancement can take several minutes off a multi-bend conduit job and provide the contractor with more precise fits.

In addition, the 25-foot tape features the IDEAL AUTO-LOCK(TM) system that automatically locks its blade into place when it's pulled out. This feature eliminates annoying snap-backs or the need to manually lock the blade with a push-button mechanism. Once finished, the user simply pushes the retrieval button to safely unlock and return the blade. AUTO-LOCK makes every measurement a simple, one-person job.

Engineered tough for the jobsite, the AUTO-LOCK's high-visibility yellow casing is safeguarded from damaging knocks and falls by a thick, non-slip rubber boot. The boot also acts as a shock absorber for the blade tip when it is retrieved, prolonging its useful service life.

The IDEAL AUTO-LOCK is immediately available.
