Lufkin L1025CME-02 Controltouch Tape Measure 8M 28 Ft

Product Description

The LUFKIN L1025CME-02 is a dual-scale tape measure in the CONTROLTOUCH family, offering both SAE and metric graduations on a single yellow-clad steel blade. The blade runs 8 meters or 28 feet in length and measures 1.1875 inches wide, providing a stiff, easy-to-read surface for layout and measurement tasks on the job site. Blade graduations run to 1/16th-inch increments on the SAE scale. The yellow cladding on the steel blade improves contrast for legibility in varying light conditions. This tool is suited for carpenters, plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors who need one tape to cover both imperial and metric specifications on a single pull.

The L1025CME-02 is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, mechanical rough-in work, and fabrication layouts where both SAE and metric dimensions are referenced. Trades working on projects with mixed-unit drawings or equipment with metric specifications will find the dual-scale blade reduces the need to convert measurements manually. The compact housing and 1.28-pound overall weight make it practical for all-day carry on a tool belt.

Installation Notes
