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

Such a inexpensive and simple measuring tape, but dont let the price fool you, dropped it already from 3 stories up on concrete (on accident) with minimum damage. I have purchased 4 already for myself because I keep loosing them lol. Love the white background as it makes it easier to read. Definitely would recommend this measuring tape.

Very nice little tape for the money. The blade doesnt have the nice coating or markings on the back that my last Komelon does but its also less than half the price so for what I paid I have no complaint. The blade is still clearly marked and readable, the fractional speedread markings are great. Its also quite light despite its stout appearance. I havent used it too much so I cant comment on its durability yet but so far its a great little tape at a great price.

I have two of these and love them. After using a white tape, its hard to go back to yellow.

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?

Its bit expensive. But really good quality to purchase.

Easy to use.

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what Im writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether Id purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know! I love this Komelon Gripper Speed-Mark tape measure. My old thin/cheap one that I used upstairs finally pushed me to the brink to the point where I wanted a new one. I have a Craftsman that I use as well but that is in the shop. If youre using a cheap tape measure, you know the dance of trying to get the tape to stay extended with our bending because of the cheap gauge of metal used in the tape. Not so with this Komelon. Its extremely sturdy. In fact, while holding the tape measure I can extend it almost 8 unsupported before it breaks. Pretty incredible. Additionally, the gray tape is very easy to read and I love the measurements being listed in 1/8 increments with unlisted 1/16 marks as well. The roller mechanism is smooth and the locking mechanism sturdy and secure. A tape measure is one of those things easy to skimp on early in life when you dont understand the difference quality makes. And then when you upgrade, youll never go back. This is the case with this Komelon and its an easy repurchase if I need another one. Ive even considered replacing my trusty Craftsman.

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.

Faciu de usá-lo

I bought this even though it was a brand name I never heard of because it has the 16th marking right on the tape. Meaning you dont have to be thinking is that 3/16s or 11/16s, it actually says 3/16 on the tape. When I am working its sometimes hard to see the tape lines (as Im old) and being able to read the numbers makes it easier. The tape has a nice feel and is slightly more compact in size than other tapes. The case is rubberized so you dont have to worry as much about scratching a table if you lay it down, unlike a lot of brands that are hard plastic. The lock feature is a novel design, well see if it holds up over time. The reason I bought this was because I had two other brand tapes have the lock break on the same day. This one is good so far.
