The Crescent 1-1/8" x 35' Chrome Case Yellow Clad Tape Measure, part L935-02. It has a chrome finish that resists corrosion and wipes clean. Supplier specification: TAPE POWER 35' CHROME.
The specification professionals compare is standout — how far the blade extends unsupported before it folds. A wider blade stands out further, which is why a 1-3/16" blade reaches across an opening a 1" blade cannot. Length matters less than most buyers expect; standout and a legible blade matter more. Open-reel fibreglass tapes are non-conductive and do not rust, which is why they are used for long runs and around electrical work.
