The \"3FT\" is a three-foot frame — three legs bonded to the blank instead of two, so the load of a hard cast spreads over more graphite and the frame resists the sideways twist that flattens a two-leg guide. This is the chrome member of a pair: the black 64HLC is the same three-leg frame in a dark finish. Choose between them on the hardware you are matching and the sizes you need — the two ladders are not identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-foot (three-leg) frame for load spread and lateral stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright chrome finish, to match chrome reel seats, winding checks and butt caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight ring sizes: 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30 and 40 mm, sold singly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel 64HLCC, SKUs coded by ring size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChrome 64HLCC Or Black 64HLC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Chrome reads bright against pale and natural-finish blanks and matches polished hardware; the black 64HLC disappears into dark blanks and matte builds.
