As an experienced professional, to measure long distances you need a tape measure that can withstand heavy-duty use every single day. The LBM 1000 STEEL combines several advantages: a shatterproof Y-reel, a rugged steel blade to protect the scale, and a universal hook for variable attachment options. Depending on the situation and application, you can choose between the fold-out metal hook with STABILA SPIKES coating, an integrated eyelet, or the large plastic ring with a nail groove. Suitable for use with either hand by simply switching the crank.
