Stanley LeverLock STHT30817S 25 Foot High Visibility Orange Self Locking Tape Measure
The Stanley LeverLock STHT30817S 25-Foot Tape Measure operates as a self-locking mechanical pocket layout rule engineered to measure subfloors, verify framing spans, and layout drywall panels. Featuring an automatic LeverLock push-release braking mechanism, a polymer-coated high-tensile alloy steel blade with fractional markings, and a high-visibility clear orange ABS plastic chassis wrapped in a rubber overmold, this measuring tape holds its position automatically upon extension. Outfitted with a self-adjusting Tru-Zero end hook, a non-marring base, and a steel belt clip, this 25-foot rule delivers precise inside and outside edge calculations during framing, carpentry, and facility maintenance applications.
Best Used For:
- Subfloor & Framing Layouts: Measuring wall plates, floor joist spans, and subfloor runs with hands-free automatic blade locking.
- Drywall & Sheathing Panel Scribing: Scribing drywall sheets, OSB sheathing, and plywood panels while keeping the non-marring base flat against finished surfaces.
- Overhead Conduit & Utility Maintenance: Taking vertical ceiling measurements and tracking conduit spacing without the blade creeping backward.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Automatic LeverLock Mechanism: Self-locking mechanical core anchors the steel blade automatically upon extension and releases smoothly via the bottom squeeze plate.
- High-Visibility Clear Orange Shell: High-impact ABS plastic chassis with vibrant orange finish ensures rapid identification in dim work areas and crowded tool chests.
- Full-Length Polymer Protective Film: Clear hard coating shields fractional graphics from jobsite abrasion, friction, and glare under direct sunlight or industrial lighting.
- Self-Adjusting Tru-Zero End Hook: Riveted end hook slides dynamically to compensate for hook blade thickness during internal and external edge measurements.
- Protective Non-Marring Base Plate: Flat bottom profile prevents scratching or scuffing on delicate, polished, or finished workpiece surfaces.
- Shock-Absorbing Rubber Buffer Shell: Outer rubber overmold cushions internal recoil mechanics against drop impacts onto concrete decks.

Pro-Tip: To extend the blade smoothly past 15 feet on long subfloor measurements with your Stanley STHT30817S, keep your arm level with the tape's trajectory. Supporting the high-tensile alloy blade parallel to the floor prevents premature buckle snaps and reduces friction on the internal LeverLock auto-brake core.
