Klein Tools Introduces New Double-Sided Power-Return Tape Measures

CHICAGO, IL – June 2003 – Klein Tools has introduced new double-sided power-return tape measures, adding to the company’s growing line of professional hand tools. The tape measures are designed with easy-to-read numbers on both sides of the blade to enable easy measurements on elevated and flat surfaces.

The new double-sided tape measures are available in four sizes: 16', 25', 30', and a metric size of 7.5 m. The tape measures feature an impact-absorbing rubber jacket that protects the case. The non-slip jacket is also designed for a sure, comfortable grip.

The tape measure’s hardened-steel 1"-wide blade is nylon-coated for abrasion resistance and long life. The blade has oversized, bold black numbers on the first 11 inches for easy reading. There is also a built-in shock absorber to protect the blade tip.

Other features on the new power-return tape measures include an eye-catching blue case for easy locating in work areas and tool bags; a triple-riveted end hook with bottom blade protector that reinforces the blade tip and provides maximum pull-out strength; a durable steel belt clip for added convenience; and a “true zero” feature for accurate inside and outside measurements.
