Keson NR18200 Nylon Coated Steel Blade Measuring Tape with Zero Point at Tape End and Hook End (Graduations: ft., in. 1/8), 200-Foot

Better than the one I already own!!!! Would recommend to anyone else looking for excellent measuring tape.

TAPE IN INCHES NOT SPECIFIED NEED TENTHS

This is the best long tape Ive ever owned, and Ive owned many of them. Accuracy of steel tape with the ease of the large open reel.

I USE THESE PROFESSIONALLY. THIS IS ONE OF PROBABLY 25 OF THE EXACT SAME TAPE THAT I USE ALMOST EVERY DAY. GOOD TAPE.

I use this professionally to measure outdoor home improvements and am used to these tapes not lasting even a year. I decided to splurge and try a steel tape this time. Definitely heavier than the standard tape, although not so heavy as to be uncomfortable. Definitely a lot more expensive too, at about triple the price. I dont love the end as it wont hook on to all surfaces when Im measuring by myself, so that could stand some improvement. I will say that it has yet to get tangled and the reel works flawlessly. Keson is the gold standard for tapes and wheels though, so Im hopeful this will last well, fingers crossed.
