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

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

Good product

I was a bit disappointed because I thought (from the questions and answers) that this was, like many other from this brand, an auto lock type, unlike most other tapes. This means that you pull it out and it stays where leave it until you release it and cause it to retract. This one is conventional, so you need to explicitly lock it. Like most tapes, you can lock it first, then pull it out, but you need to be careful not to accidentally press the release, which is easy to do. I do like the fact that it has fractions of an inch marked for every inch.

Very happy with my purchase! My husband works construction and I was tired of having to get a measuring tape from his truck whenever I needed one. I got this one to keep in the house and I am happy I did. It has gotten so much use already and it is super easy to read. The numbers are very large. Its heavy and very sturdy. It stays straight when measuring distances and doesnt bend in the middle like other measuring tapes. My husband is already trying to take it to work!

This tape measure is great! It’s well made, rubber insulated, the black numbers on the white background are easy to see, and the 1/8” marks are a nice addition.16’ is plenty for my work so it’s not too bulky either. Happy with this purchase!

Finally replaced my old tape measure and this one really solved some of my general complaints about most models. It has fractional numbers on one side, which really helps. The tape is strong enough such that it remains rigid for easy measurement. I really like the lock mechanism, but my favorite feature is that is slowly retracts and doesnt snap into my hand!!

This is the best tape measure that I have. I am building a new garage and this thing is great. Smooth operation nice lock and easy to read. My only complaint is that is it is a bit wide so hard to fit into the tool belt spot alocated for the tape, but no big deal, I would highly recommend.

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 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.

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