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

great functioning tape measure tool ,can compete with the big boys at 1/2 the price. 5*****

The thing jammed in its second day. Theres actually YouTube videos on how to repair the jams because theyre so common with this brand. I tried repairing myself but made it worse. But a better brand

It help me measures things in my home. D Still tryingto measure for my thermal curtains for bedroom and living room. I have patio. So I hope this will help me get the right measures for my curtains.

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.

Maybe my fault for assuming the top rated tape measures would include metric measurements as well. Still not particularly easy to read. The build quality seems good enough for the price.

All I can say is this company if they can get the foundation spring inside the mechanism to be made of high quality stainless that doesnt rust and break theyll have an indestructible measuring tape I love these tapes the coating and the material the physical tape its made from is entirely Superior to Craftsman FatMax Stanley products hands down

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.

Happy with this purchase

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.

Its easy to use but it didnt last long dont go beyond the 25 feet mark if you do it will be broken I tried to fix it but I was unable to
