Contractors, DIYers, and anyone who needs a tape that can take a beating – meet the Lufkin Shockforce G2. This isn't your flimsy hardware store tape. It's built tough. First off, the blade is wider and thicker than standard tapes, which means it stays rigid for a full 17 feet of reach when you're measuring alone. No more floppy blade collapsing on you.
It's got serious protection: a thick coating along the whole blade, plus an extra 6 inches of super-tough Mylar coating at the end where it gets the most wear. Lufkin says this gives you 3x the blade life. The end hook is coated with diamond grit, giving it 360 degrees of grip on surfaces so it doesn't slip, and it protects the tape from tearing.
The case is reinforced to survive drops from ladders or rooftops. The belt clip has a handy release lever, so it's easy to clip on and off your belt or bag. The lock is strong and secure. At 25 feet long, it's a versatile length for most projects. If you're tired of tapes breaking or blades getting wrecked, this Shockforce G2 is a professional-grade upgrade that's worth every penny.
