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

This is a great tape measure. The tape stays in place when pulled out for measurements and retracts easily and quickly by pressing the release button. Recommend!

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

I liked that it auto locked. But I noticed when I pulled it out to about 10 feet it was trying to suck it back in. So I had to hold with two hands so it wouldn’t cool back into itself

This works, but I found that for the price, the quality could have been better. I ended up returning it and went to the store to buy a good old Stanely tape measure. But this would definitely work for most people in a pinch. Or who doesnt want to go to the store to purchase a tape measure.

I have been a carpenter for over 40 years and have purchased many of these tapes in the past. In fact they are the only tapes I have purchased for quite a while. They arent perfect because as some of the lower ratings have mentioned they will get quirky and not work as intended but because of the amount of different brands of tape measures that I have used in the past these ones hold up for the longest time .and are compact enough to sit in your nail belt without the bulk and weight of many other brands.

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

Love love this measuring tape. Love that the tape measure automatically locks!

The first time he used it, he went to the end of the measure tape, it twisted, he was unable to retract it. We threw it away.

My tape was not locking after some usage. I assumed it was a defect in the tape. However, I found that I was misusing it and causing it not to lock properly. The locking feature depends on the rewind using the automatic rewind button to retract. However, I was occasionally pushing the tape back into the cassette manually which created some slack internally which resulted in the lock feature failing to work properly. To correct this I extended the tape to its maximum length and rewound it using the retract button. Viola, this cured the locking problem. Maybe most of you out there already knew this, but I was never aware of how this was supposed to be used.

Easy to use and read. Iike the automatic lock feature. Release button (unlock) is in a bit if an awkward spot but not a deal breaker by any means. For the money youd be hard pressed to find one better.
