Keson has introduced nine all new nylon-coated pocket tapes, including the 25-ft. and 30-ft. Pro Series PowerGlide pocket tapes that now have stainless steel housings and two of the new 25-ft. Standard Series PowerGlide pocket tapes that now come with stainless steel blades and housings.
Also, three other 25-ft. Standard Series PowerGlide pocket tapes are available:

- The PG1825MAG features a strong magnetic tip
- The PG1825WIDE comes with a 1 3/16” wide blade, allowing the blade to stand out past nine feet without bending.
Each of the seven new PowerGlide Pocket Tapes will also feature color-coded product packaging to allow the products to quickly stand out in store displays. The new packaging will be introduced steadily over the next few months.
Keson made the announcement from the annual Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) Convention in San Antonio, where the company can be found at booths 201-203 in the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.
