This 1-1/4" x 25' XP Tape Measure (DWHT36225THS) is the toughest Tape Measure that DEWALT has ever made. It's built around proprietary Dual-Core technology, which is a patented spring system that utilizes two retracting springs. The blade coating helps to prevent rust and protects the paint. Heavy-duty thermoplastic coating reduces blade breakage near the hook at the end of the blade. Also featured is a built-in lanyard slot, screw-free belt clip and an extra large end hook.
