The Crescent Lufkin Control Series is right at home in the hands of professionals who want a tape measure that works as hard as they do

The 1-3/16 wide tape with extra-large print has 12 feet of true standout to tackle any job, and the matte finish both reduces glare and protects the blade, ensuring that it holds up through heavy use

The finger brake beneath the tapes feed allows the user to control the blade without risk of pinching, and the blade can be locked in place with the wide lock button protected by over-mold rails

Of course, -in-class durability of the Control Series doesnt stop at the lock button rails the ergonomic case survived 50+ 1-story drops in life strength testing

The Control Series excels, from the integrated tether point to the 360 degree grip end hook
