Stanley 33989-8 Basic Tape Measure 5M

  • High-Impact ABS Case: The classic yellow shell is lightweight yet tough enough to withstand everyday bumps and drops.

  • Tylon™ or Polymer Coated Blade: Most modern 33989-8 units now feature a polymer/Tylon coating to protect the markings from friction and wear (though it is thinner than the heavy-duty Tylon models).

  • “Finger-Brake” Design: A small opening or groove at the bottom of the case allows you to apply pressure directly to the blade with your finger for more controlled measurements.

  • Tru-Zero™ End Hook: The sliding hook ensures accuracy for both “butt-up” (internal) and “hook-on” (external) measurements.

  • High Contrast Markings: Features a bright yellow blade with clear black and red graduations in both Metric and Imperial (cm/mm and feet/inches).

  • Slimline Portability: Without the bulky rubber armor, this model is much thinner than the Bi-Material tapes, making it the easiest to fit into a standard pants pocket.

Description

This is a standard-duty 5-meter (16-foot) tape measure housed in a high-impact, bright yellow ABS plastic case. It is often referred to as a “Pocket Tape” because of its slim profile. While it lacks the rubber overmold of the “BI MAT” versions, the case is textured to ensure a decent grip, and it features a unique perforated bottom that allows you to use your finger to manually control or slow down the blade’s retraction.
