The Tolsen 35981 is a reliable measuring tape designed for both internal and external measurements, making it a practical tool for various construction and home improvement tasks. It features a 3-meter blade with a yellow wear-resistant coating that ensures the clear metric graduations remain legible over time, while the MID Class II accuracy provides the precision needed for consistent results. To handle the rigors of a job site, the case is built from impact-resistant ABS plastic with a bicomposite rubber soft grip, which makes it comfortable to hold and durable against accidental drops. You can easily secure the tape in place using the locking button or let the power return spring smoothly retract the blade when you are finished. For added convenience, it includes a self-aligning end hook for accurate starts, along with a belt clip and hand strap so you can keep it within reach while working.
