CRAFTSMAN Tape Measure, 25 ft, Retraction Control and Self-Lock, Rubber Grip (CMHT37225)

The item is a quality item and worth it the price; however, I was looking for a Metric Tape Measure as it was described when I purchased it.

Work

For the money, the Craftsman 25-foot Tape Measure is a good value. Solidly built, the tape is easy to read, with large numbers. The controls on the tape can be a little clunky and cumbersome. Operating it one-handed can lead to some minor frustrations but nothing fatal. Overall, it serves its purpose and seems like it will last a long time (as long as i dont lose it, a common fate shared by several predecessors.)

Those of us in the Midwest typically have a drawer in the kitchen with miscellaneous tools. This is the perfect tape measure for that application. Its compact and easy to read. And 16ft is the goldilocks of tape measure lengths for household measuring needs. Highly recommend.

Works perfect. Great quality

The very first time I pulled this tape measure out beyond 6 it would not retract! Ill consider this flaw a fluke and asked for a replacement. Ill see if the flaw repeats or consider that flawed treasure measure was out together first thing Monday morning...

It was a gift and he loved it!

This measuring tape is nice. I like very much the lock and unlock key. It is easy to use and Im going to enjoy this tape measurer. I do recommend it.

Measuring for home decor.

CRAFTSMAN Tape Measure, 25 ft, Retraction Control and Self-Lock, Rubber Grip (CMHT37225) is heavy - about 1 lb. Specifications said about 1 oz. It is too heavy for me, will return.
