Komelon SM5416 Speed Mark Gripper Acrylic Coated Steel Blade Tape Measure 16-feet by 1-Inch, White Blade

I realized after this was delivered that I didn’t need it. When I started to use it though, I loved it so much I kept it. The numbers are easy to read, the tape measures out smoothly. I do wish that it wasn’t so flimsy but the easy read makes up for it!

Finally replaced my old tape measure and this one really solved some of my general complaints about most models. It has fractional numbers on one side, which really helps. The tape is strong enough such that it remains rigid for easy measurement. I really like the lock mechanism, but my favorite feature is that is slowly retracts and doesnt snap into my hand!!

Just received this and it is great! Retract is fast. Locks & unlocks easily with one hand. But I didnt think it would be as heavy as it is. I didnt pay notice to the weight. It is sturdy and is going to last a long time for sure. Told my 29year old grandson its his when I die, and Not until! Hes already eyeing it. This is a good product and well worth the money.

Easy to lock with one thumb, grip is very sure, and lock release doesn’t send the tape back in so fast you think you’ll get a laceration. Very good tool. No metric measurements on it at all, so if you need that, no bueno. The blister pack it comes in is a pain to open, however. You’ll either need a screwdriver or a lot of patience.

This is the best tape measure that I have. I am building a new garage and this thing is great. Smooth operation nice lock and easy to read. My only complaint is that is it is a bit wide so hard to fit into the tool belt spot alocated for the tape, but no big deal, I would highly recommend.

I get these for my guys regularly, they are very study and can take a beating. Easy to grip, and retracts easily. Exact what you want with the measuring tape.

Convenient sized tape measure and it retracts fast so using it is a breeze.

Great

Great for the value, good locking feature.

Very easy to read/use tape measure. The tape itself is sturdy and the tape measure overall feels well built. My only complaint would be that the locking feature feels like it will break at any moment. It feels like the lock will break every time you engage it (it hasnt broken yet). Also, this tape measure does not have metric markings. That isnt an issue for me, but may be an issue for you.
