AUTOMATIC BLADE LOCKING MECHANISM – High-Visibility 25-Foot LeverLock Tape Rule with Non-Marring Base and Tru-Zero Precision
Revolutionize your layout speed and maintain flawless accuracy with the hands-free convenience of the Stanley 25-Foot LeverLock® Tape Measure (STHT30817S). Engineered for professional contractors, framing crews, drywall installers, and workshop woodworkers, this innovative measuring tool replaces standard slide buttons with an automatic mechanical locking core. The moment you pull out the high-tensile steel blade, it instantly stays locked in position automatically without clicking or creeping out of place. Pressing the intuitive lower leverage plate acts as a smooth push-release mechanism, giving you total, variable control over the blade's spring-loaded retraction. This smart layout asset eliminates the struggle of measuring long spans unassisted, making it a critical choice for checking framing runs, tracking overhead spacing, or layout marking on subfloors and panels.
This contractor-grade pocket measuring tape is optimized to survive the daily hazards of congested jobsites and packed storage chests. Housed in a structurally reinforced, high-impact clear ABS plastic case wrapped in a protective rubber overmold, it completely eliminates tool loss thanks to its vibrant high-visibility orange shell. The steel blade ribbon is protected by a tough, crystal-clear polymer coating that provides premier abrasion resistance while delivering an anti-glare finish under direct outdoor sunlight or overhead industrial lights. Outfitted with high-contrast fractional graphic markings for swift and error-free reads, a protective non-marring base to prevent scratching polished finishes, a pre-installed spring steel belt clip, and a corrosion-resistant Tru-Zero® end hook that slides precisely to ensure dead-on inside or outside calculations, this pocket-sized layout tool is built for consistent lifelong performance.
Key Features
- Automatic LeverLock Mechanism: Self-locking push-release design automatically anchors the steel blade at any distance, facilitating seamless one-handed operation.
- High-Visibility Clear Orange Shell: Bright, translucent high-impact ABS housing allows for rapid identification inside crowded tool chests or dark jobsites.
- Full-Length Polymer Protective Film: Heavy-duty transparent blade coating stands up to extreme abrasion, grit friction, and harsh field environments.
- Fast Fractional Layout Markings: Built with clear, high-contrast fraction graphics for precise calculations and efficient structural marking.
- Self-Adjusting Tru-Zero End Hook: Corrosion-resistant front tip hook moves dynamically to offset its own material thickness for exact inside or outside checks.
- Protective Non-Marring Base Plate: Structurally flat base shape shields sensitive workpieces from scratching or scuffing when anchoring layout marks.
- Rugged ABS Composite Case: Durable plastic core bound by a rubber protective shell shrugs off accidental drops and everyday tradesman wear.

💡 PRO-TIP: Because the LeverLock system relies on a constant internal friction brake to lock the blade automatically, drawing the ribbon out inside extremely dusty environments can sometimes track fine sheetrock grit or masonry slurry into the mechanical brake clutch. To preserve the reliable performance of your locking spring, lightly clean the extended steel blade with a dry microfiber towel after working in heavy dust before releasing the leverage button to let it draw back into the high-visibility orange shell!
