            <description>AUTO-LOCK&amp;#226;&amp;quot;&amp;#162; 25 ft tape measure has 1 in. wide blade with bold black numbers that automatically locks into place when pulled out. This prevents blade from springing back into case before length is properly measured and eliminates need for manual locking; user retracts blade via retrieval button. High-visibility yellow casing is safeguarded from knocks and falls by non-slip rubber boot, which also acts as shock absorber for blade tip when retrieved.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;This story is related to the following:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href='http://news.thomasnet.com/news/portable-tools' target='_blank''&gt;Portable Tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
