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

    I thought this was a great purchase until the lock mechanism jammed--after only a few months of occasional use. I cant recall anymore exactly how it happened, but all I know is I pulled out the metal tape to measure something fairly long, and I was unable to retract it. Possibly the weight of the tape when extended for more than a foot or so was too much for the tape to handle without warping; that would be my guess.

    I admit Im an amateur at using measuring tape for longer distances, and I should not have pulled this past the redline where it says STOP. That being said, if you do this once and the tape breaks and the mechanism snaps and makes your measuring tape useless after one try, you should not be in the business of making measuring tape anymore. I remember as a child, playing with measuring tape I exceeded that red line many times with more generic products, and I dont remember it breaking until long term wear down and pulling. This felt like itll the tape was attached to a piece of used to dental floss that snapped on a slight tug. The fact that there is no break mechanism and it is so delicate, tells me this product is by definition, planned obsolete.

    it’s just perfect. Very easy to use, not too bulky, the locking feature is handier than you would think.

    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.

    Have been super reliable and have had my old tapes for seven years or so and finally killed my 25 footer so got the same tape and am sure to be good for seven more years. Woodworking, mechanic, lumber cutting

    Have always used the self retracting tapes where you had to manually lock them. Its so great not having to worry about the tape snapping back because the end wasnt secure. It takes a little getting use to working backwards, pushing the button to extend / retract the tape, but it doesnt take long before you really appreciate the difference. The tape is easily readable. Not sure about how long the self locking mechanism will last, but so good, so far.

    I probably have 10 measuring tapes around, someplace, but who knows where they are when you need one. And I needed one for an upcoming project. Decided to get a decent one. Most major brands have a lock that slides down to hold the tape in place, this one does not require you to push anything down to lock it into place, only have to push to retract. It is not quite as fancy as some, does not have metric, but will easily meet my needs for this project.
