Crescent Lufkin Tape Measure L1225ALCMEB-02 1-1/4 Inch By 26 Foot Shockforce Nite Eye G2 (17 Ft Reach Dual Sided SAE Metric Layout Measuring)

Crescent Lufkin L1225ALCMEB-02 1-1/4" x 26' Shockforce Nite Eye™ G2 Auto-Lock Tape Measure

The Crescent Lufkin L1225ALCMEB-02 Shockforce Nite Eye™ G2 1-1/4-inch by 26-foot (8-meter) auto-lock tape measure delivers up to 17 feet of true reach for rapid framing, structural carpentry, and mechanical layout measuring. Forged with a reinforced steel core blade encased in a full protective abrasion-resistant nylon coating plus an extra 6-inch blade barrier, this high-durability measuring tool features high-contrast green markings on a matte black background for optimal legibility in dim light. Outfitted with an automatic blade lock mechanism, a 360-degree diamond-coated end hook for superior grip, dual-sided printing with a vertical quick-read scale, an integrated steel tether anchor point, and a heavy-duty impact-resistant bolstered case, it equips framing carpenters, commercial contractors, and ironworkers with uncompromised measuring precision and drop protection.

Best Used For:

• Framing and Structural Layout: Extending the rigid 1-1/4-inch wide steel blade across open floor joists, roof trusses, and wall stud spans without collapsing.
• Overhead and Vertical Conduit Measuring: Utilizing the high-visibility underside vertical scale and 360-degree diamond hook for measuring pipe runs and ceiling heights.
• High-Elevation Commercial Construction: Securing the tape measure to fall-protection lanyards via the integrated steel tether eyelet during ironwork and scaffolding tasks.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 17-Foot Extended Reach: Wider, thicker steel blade profile provides up to 17 feet of unassisted reach for single-operator measuring.
• Auto-Lock Mechanism: Automatically holds the extended blade securely in position for smooth, controlled retraction and effortless one-handed use.
• Nite Eye™ High-Contrast Legibility: Bright green metric and fractional SAE graphics set against a non-reflective matte black blade ensure instant reading in low light.
• Diamond-Coated 360° Hook: Heavy-duty end hook coated in industrial diamond abrasive grasps materials from top, bottom, or side angles to prevent slipping.
• Protective 6-Inch End Barrier: Enhanced barrier coating protects the first 6 inches of the blade against tearing and cracking, delivering 3x the standard blade life.
• Integrated Steel Tether Point: Heavy-duty metal loop provides certified tie-off security when working at height and doubles as a pivot for drawing arcs.
