Crescent Lufkin L1116NE 1-1/4″ x 16′ Workhorse Nite Eye Double Sided Tape Measure

The Crescent Lufkin WORKHORSE 16’ Tape Measure is built for durability, visibility, and one-handed use, making it a reliable choice for professionals in construction, trades, and industrial environments. Featuring a 1-1/4″ wide steel blade with a high-contrast NITE EYE™ finish and double-sided print, this tape ensures measurements are quick to read from any angle—even in low light or awkward positions.

The standout feature is its 15 feet of reach, allowing solo users to measure spans without assistance. A 360-degree end hook enhances grip from all sides, and a 6-inch protective barrier near the blade’s end helps prevent tearing at the most common failure point. Combined with a compact, tether-ready case featuring a textured grip and protected lock button, the WORKHORSE is both tough and comfortable to use.
