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

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.

Measuring tape is best I’ve ever used in quality and price.

best tape measure ever

My old tape broke and I bought this one because of the lock feature. The green color makes it easy to spot while getting mixed up in a project. The lock feature enables me to use it and not have to ask someone to hold it for me while measuring. Highly recommend it.

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.

Ive had this less than 2 months and not at all happy with the self-locking feature. It doesnt always stay and, the longer you extend it, the more likely it is to slip. You have to try and hold it down with one hand while marking your measurement with the other (which might be OK for approximate measurements, but definitely not for anything that has to be exact.) There is no manual lock - only a manual release. Ill find some use for this, but probably have to buy another tape.

Love this tape measure. Easy to use thanks to the lock feature that actually works.

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.

Thank you

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