New LeverLock® 25' tape rule incorporates
added features
in a compact dual material high impact case
SUMMARY: Stanley introduces the redesigned LeverLock®
25' Tape Rule featuring a 20-percent smaller rounded bi-material
case to improve functionality, increase comfort and help prevent
the tape from slipping out of the user's hand. For added comfort,
the Stanley® LeverLock® 25' Tape Rule includes a slip-resistant
rubber grip and a rubberized blade-locking lever. A red blade
lock override button allows the tape to be used in two modes.
When the button is set with the locked padlock icon pushed out,
the blade functions as it does in the current LeverLock®
Tape Rule and will not retract unless the user depresses the
black lever on the bottom of the tape rule case. When the button
is set with the unlocked padlock icon pushed out, the blade
extends and retracts freely.
Atlanta, Georgia, February 8, 2002 - Stanley introduces
its redesigned LeverLock® 25' Tape Rule. The new LeverLock®
Tape Rule features a rounded and easy to hold bi-material
case that is 20-percent smaller than existing LeverLock®
tape rules, rubber grip and rubberized blade-locking lever
improving functionality, increasing comfort and helping to
prevent the tool from slipping out of the user's hand.
The new Stanley® LeverLock® tape rule is also equipped
with a blade lock override button that allows users to use
the tape rule in two different modes. When the red blade override
button is set with the locked padlock icon pushed out, the
blade functions as it does in the current LeverLock® Tape
Rule and will not retract unless the user depresses the black
lever on the bottom of the tape rule case. When the button
is set with the unlocked padlock icon pushed out, the blade
extends and retracts freely.
The LeverLock® 25' Tape Rule's multi-setting capability
offers users the performance and versatility they need to
successfully tackle a variety of projects, whether they are
a pro on the jobsite, woodworking hobbyist in the workshop
or homeowner in the garage.
"This is an one of the most versatile and user friendly
tape rules Stanley has ever produced," said Miguel Nistal,
Vice President Global Product Management, Hand Tools. "We
have incorporated all the features users demand from a tape
rule into one multifunctional and easy to use tape."
The Stanley® LeverLock® 25' Tape Rule is available
at exclusive Preview Dealer retailers through June 2002. Beginning
in July, it will be available at hardware stores and home
centers wherever Stanley® products are sold. It has a
suggested retail price of $9.99.
