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

Easy to use.

I go through tapes fairly often no matter what brand and this one has done the job well enough that I have ordered a second.

I cant believe this 1 x 25 metal tape measure only costs $7 appx. The absolute HIGHEST QUALITY comparable to others costing 2 or 3 times as much. I almost thinks this is a mistake but if it was, I feel bad but am also delighted in my purchase! Should I order another even though I dont need it?

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.

I have 2 of these now, different brands. This one is heavier, more cumbersome, and more difficult to lock. Accurate measurement though.

Good tape measure especially for everyday stuff. My dad gave me a tape measure he uses for construction work and it seems to be similar to this one. This tape measure is smaller and not as heavy duty as his but it does get the job done. It also isnt as expensive so it should be good for most users.

Great for the price

Not much more to say. Lol. We needed a new one because they lock feature on our old one broke. The lock feature on this works, and the numbers/markers are easy enough to read. I did see reviews about it not retracting super fast. Bec so many people mentioned it, I was expecting something extraaaa slow and gentle. I wouldn’t say it’s significantly more gentle than others, but definitely not as quick/dangerous of a retract! Def not a bad tape measure, and a great price!

I like how big the numbers are.

Edit. 6 months later the tape is showing signs of rust along the edges. The full length. It has not been wet. ----- This tape really helped me easily measure in imperial after having grown up using decimal.
