Komelon SL2816; 16 x 3/4 Self-Lock Tape Measure

This measuring tape is super sturdy, large and easy to read, and reasonably priced. Its a bit on the bulky side, but not too bad

I love the locking feature. Ive snapped my fingers with tape measures in the past. Not possible with this tape measure.

I really wanted to like this tape measure. Reviews were solid, and Im a fan of the push button to release. However there are two major problems: 1. The hold isnt very strong, so it often retracts on its own. 2. The metal tape itself is quite flimsy. All I want in a tool is for it to work. This falls short. On the hunt for a higher quality tape.

This seems to be quality. It certainly feels like it. Weve had one in our office for about two months now and no issues. I certainly dont mind buying more of these to spread around the office at this cost. Far less expensive than my craftsman and still does the job. Every one likes the yellow tape as well.

Really nice weight and feel and size.

This is superior quality compared to other competing inexpensive brands in its price range. It is like getting the Stanley standard of quality at a far more affordable price. I need a solid tape measure with an excellently designed locking mechanism functioning as it should with the tape study and not wobbly at just a few feet. It needs to withstand being dropped occasionally on a concrete floor or foundation. My old metal Stanley is awesome, but I misplaced it. I have hobbled along with several cheap replacements, because I am on a tight budget. Wary about buying this in used condition from Amazon Warehouse, I decided to give it a shot, because if it is used and still works as well as the reviews claim, then I will have gotten a bargain. Well, the reviews were right so far. Compared to others in its price range even at full price this Komelon is an outstanding product that actually makes me less concerned about whether the Stanley will ever turn back up. If I ever lose this one, I will buy another just like.

This is just for home use and not on a technical level. So good enough for what we need.

I say for the price this is a decent, 4/5 star, measuring tape. The tape itself is pretty flimsy and gets pretty annoying when the length goes over like 20 inches. Would be a lower score but you get what you pay for. Does the job for measuring household items and areas.

Good quality, I bought a second one. The lock feature is convenient

Retracts well and feels heavy
