Lufkin Legacy Series Tape Measures

Lufkin Legacy Series Tape Measures Offer a Blend of Classic Look and Modern Design

Lufkin Legacy Series Tape Measures have been announced, combining modern features with a classic tape measure design while improving performance. The classic look Lufkin is referring to is the vintage square label, mirror-chrome casing design made popular in the 1960’s.


The tapes feature Hi-Viz orange ribbed accent stripes that improve grip while providing the signature look. An extra wide sliding lock button improves comfort and control, easing the release and return of the blades. The blades are nylon-coated for improved durability. The blades are also matte finished, reducing glare and improving contrast to aid precision under most lighting conditions.

“A timeless and proven look shouldn’t require the sacrifice of performance. With excellent blade durability and standout, the Legacy Series™ infuses the lessons of more than 125 years of Lufkin experience with time-honored appeal, making it a wonderful addition to any toolbox.”

– Brendan Walsh, product manager for Lufkin
