> 3 dayI like tape, but I wish it locked more strongly when extended towards the end of its length.

> 3 dayThe lock feature is constantly on, causing drag & wear; it is more of a release button which can cause high-speed retraction and danger of finger laceration or damage to already loose rivets.

03-06-2025Ive been using this on weekends for about 5 months and it no longer locks. I can still use it (sort-of) but you really need a tape measure to lock. Going back to Stanley the next time.

> 3 dayNot my favorite tape measure. My biggest complaint is the auto-lock mechanism which engages when the release button remains unpressed— its a great idea in theory (no worrying about locking your tape into position!) but it seems to have weakened with regular use and the tape will occasionally slide gradually back in 1-2 inches. Not *bad* per se, but certainly not convenient when you expect rigorous performance of your tools.

> 3 dayI will say, on the first two days, this is a five star tape rule. On the third day, the blade cracked and rendered it useless. It eventually broke off and sent the remaining end of the tape into the surround. Self lock feature worked well, and I was also very keen on the high visibility color of the tape itself, as well as the outer surround. Long story short, I bought another one and the blade broke again, so I bought a Stanley.

> 3 dayThe tape measure is well built with high quality soft touch material covering most of it. It has a good weight to it and doesnt have any loose parts inside jiggling around. The tape is also very rigid and has a low friction texture. The locking feature is very quick. Pushing the button will retract the tape very quickly, and releasing the button results in an almost instant stop of the tape.
