What’s more, the new tape technology undergone and passed the solvent test, which immerses the material in a variety of oils and acids. It also went through the lifecycle and standout tests where the tape went through repeated cycling tests with a spring and blade tape rule, and used the distance extended as a measure of effectiveness.
With the new White Series Tough Case Tape, users are expected to enjoy measuring for up to 1.8 meters, experience better readability and increased versatility due to its double end hook design, and higher accessibility with its 45-degree clip.
