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

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.

Really nice weight and feel and size.

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.

maybe youll like it.

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.

works very good. sturdy

As soon as this tape measure arrived, my husband said and I quote, “I am so jealous!” He has the standard tape measures, but none are as substantial as this nor have an awesome locking feature that the Komelon has. I needed this in my nursing job, where I have to measure distances that people are able to walk in their homes. This is easily read from a standing position when it’s on the floor and stays in its locked position. Big, hearty recommendation!

This definitely does the job. Much easier to lock than other tape measures. Easy to read. Easy to find and no one steals it because it doesn’t look like every other tape measurer! Haha

I bought this to replace an old tape measure that had stopped retracting. It does the job just fine. It extends, it locks, it measures, and it retracts. Does what a tape measure is supposed to do and is inexpensive enough that if it breaks in a few months I wont be too upset. Overall a good value.

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.
