Crescent Lufkin Tape Measure L1235CME-02 1-1/4 Inch By 33 Foot Shockforce G2 (17 Foot Reach Dual Sided SAE Metric Blade Framing Distance Layout)

Crescent Lufkin L1235CME-02 1-1/4" x 33' Shockforce™ G2 Heavy-Duty Tape Measure

The Crescent Lufkin L1235CME-02 Shockforce™ G2 1-1/4-inch by 33-foot (10-meter) tape measure provides up to 17 feet of unassisted reach for extended distance layout, commercial framing, and industrial construction measuring. Engineered with a wide high-tensile steel blade protected by an abrasion-resistant finish and an additional 6-inch Mylar barrier coating that delivers 3 times the standard blade lifespan, this measuring tool withstands severe jobsite abuse. Outfitted with a 360-degree diamond-coated grasping end hook, dual-sided SAE and metric printed graduations with a vertical underside scale, an integrated steel safety tether point, and an extreme-drop bolstered impact case, it equips framing carpenters, concrete contractors, and steel erectors with reliable measuring precision and drop protection.

Best Used For:

• Long-Span Framing and Foundation Layout: Measuring extended 33-foot distances across foundation footings, framing plates, and long structural spans without blade sag.
• Overhead Conduit and Mechanical Rough-Ins: Utilizing the vertical-read underside scale and 360-degree grasping hook to capture ceiling elevations and pipe runs.
• High-Elevation Ironwork and Scaffolding: Anchoring the tape measure directly to fall-protection lanyards via the integrated steel tether ring when working at height.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 17-Foot Standout Reach: Wider 1-1/4-inch reinforced steel blade profile maintains rigid horizontal extension across open joists and trusses.
• Diamond-Coated 360° End Hook: Heavy-duty end hook coated in industrial diamond particles grasps materials securely from top, bottom, and side angles.
• Mylar Protective Barrier: Heavy-duty blade coating combined with a reinforced 6-inch end barrier prevents blade cracking, tearing, and wear.
• Dual-Sided SAE and Metric Markings: High-visibility oversized graduations feature fractional SAE on top and metric units with vertical scales underneath.
• Extreme-Drop Bolstered Case: Rugged dual-material housing absorbs high-impact drops from ladders and scaffolding without internal mechanism damage.
• Integrated Steel Tether Anchor: Solid metal loop offers OSHA-compliant tether attachment for drop prevention and doubles as a pivot for layout scribing.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Hook the diamond-coated tip onto the edge of metal framing or pipe runs from overhead angles; the abrasive texture grips firmly from the top or sides to eliminate tape pop-off when pulling long 33-foot measurements alone.
