Komelon SM5416 Speed Mark Gripper Acrylic Coated Steel Blade Tape Measure 16-feet by 1-Inch, White Blade

Works great. Easy to read. The outside is really grippy. Ive already dropped it on the concrete floor at work, with no apparent damage. Belt clip stays put and doesnt spin like on cheaper tape measures. Cant go wrong with this purchase for the price. I would buy it again.

This was a Christmas gift & I was happy to give a tape with the fractions labeled. High quality & hubby loved his gift. Excited to simplify measuring. One thing that made us CRAZY! The packaging!! Sent by Amazon—is there need for shoplifter proof packaging? Took 10 minutes to remove from the plastic.

Tape was very flimsy (Ive used everything from typical Stanley tapes to FatMaxs and this was beyond the older style tape floppy). Thought I would like the white color tape for better contrast but the material has no sheen; it almost feels like a matte finish. This was an issue since you can easily mark the tape with a pencil. Last issue I had with it buuuuut for people very new to using a tape measure; it might be helpful if they dont need to make super accurate marks: the rubber at the bottom holds the tape 1/8~1/4 above anything you might measure on horses/whatever. Not a big issue but try using a flimsy tape hooked and you want to read the measurement at the edge... well the rubber will be in the way. For beginner users, the bottom of the housing aint going anywhere. Its also not a large instrument but the protrusions I mentioned make it need a large holster. anyway, bye <3

This tape is easy to read because of the high contrast between the white background and the black numbers and marks. Most tapes are yellow, and this contrast is not present. The tape is sturdy, even when it’s extended a long way. The lock is more than adequate. The tape has enough heft, but it’s not so much so that it’s bulky and your apron. I highly recommend this item.

This is very thick and durable. I have terrible eye sight so I love how big and clear the numbers are. Locks in place as it should. Definitely recommend

I misplaced my Stanley and not wanting to pay too much I took a chance and luckily picked a winner. This works fine for my needs. Nice weight to it. Feels like it should have cost more. But Im glad it didnt.

Just received this and it is great! Retract is fast. Locks & unlocks easily with one hand. But I didnt think it would be as heavy as it is. I didnt pay notice to the weight. It is sturdy and is going to last a long time for sure. Told my 29year old grandson its his when I die, and Not until! Hes already eyeing it. This is a good product and well worth the money.

I accidently got the tape measures by a random chance. I think it is a really well made product. I cannot really explain how I feel when I use it, but among several tape measures I own, I use this tape measure all the time.

Easy to read the eighth. quarter, and half marks from the top or bottom of the tape and doesnt have ears that get in the way when holding the tape stop and a razor to keep the cut true to zero on the tape when say, ripping an 8 or 12 foot sheet of drywall or cutting or drawing accurately measured boxes etc.

I dont know why I thought they would be smaller, but I bought one for my junk drawer because the old one had a kink in it, and I got an extra for my daughter, and then I was almost apologetic about the size of the thing, and it has to be at the bottom of the junk drawer, with nothing under it, otherwise its difficult to close the drawer!
