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

I use a tape measure constantly throughout the day,and am hooked on the komeleon. Also got exactly what I ordered (not the newer yellow style,which Im not crazy about),with very quick delivery. Probably order a couple more soon. If the little stopper gets dirty it wont stay out as well,but all you have to do is take it apart and clean bottom side of stopper with alcohol and youre good to go. Only tapes I use!

Easy to retract and stays in place when pulled out. Durable and goes to 25 feet.

I have tried other self locking tape measures and they cannot compare, easy to use and read. I have never had it jam or crease, unlike craftsman stanley, cobalt, and many others.

For some reason, tape measures grow legs and walk away in my household. My father and I both have our own collections of tools, and when something needs measuring, neither of use can seem to find a tape measure! I got this one to keep in my Husky roll away work station. I reasoned that its bright green color would help it stand out among my old black tape measure and my fathers chromed units. And stand out it does! Every time Ive needed a tape measure Ive been able to easily locate this one. The automatic brake on this tape measure has taken some getting used to. The only other auto-braking tape measure my father and I have used is the old motorized Black and Decker unit he got as a gift years ago, and it too has grown legs and walked away. As I use the tape more though, Im growing to like the auto brake more. Its nice to quickly pull one or two feet of tape out and not worry about getting whipped by the tape when I invariably forget to set the lock. But that raises a question: How durable and reliable is the brake in this tape measure? Ive only had this tape measure for a month and it only sees slight occasional use, so I cant answer that question. The whole unit feels well made though, so I hope that the brake is just as solid.

Not a big tool gal, but had to leave a review because this truly is THE BEST tape measure. It locks automatically, easy to read the numbers and lightweight. Going to buy by my friends all one for Christmas. Excellent produc no

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

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

This is a decent product for the money. I like the fact that it automatically holds whatever length of the tape measure you pull out, without any effort from me. Thats the first one that Ive owned that does that. Im satisfied with it.

Ive been using these at work for several years now. The lock is different than most tapes, but I really like it. But the real reason I order these is because no one else at work has a bright green tape measure. Makes it easy to find mine.

Just what I needed. Be careful don’t over extend or you may break it
