78-R258 Pro Series Tape Measure Review

The CST/Berger Pro Series tape measure extends and retracts very smoothly

By Daniel Parish

This 25-in. tape measure extended and retracted noticeably more smoothly than the other tape measures we tested. It uses a spring hub made of Teflon-infused plastic, essentially a self-lubricating mechanism. Its 1/32-in. marks offer greater detail for finish carpentry.
