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

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!

Like the easy reading

I got tired of fighting the POJ Stanley - so i bought 2 of these. What a nice surprise!! The ruler pull out/retract is almost effortless and quite smooth, and the measure increments are easy to read - even for an old coot like me! :) Plus - the whole thing is just the right size. It fits easily in my hand and makes managing it all much easier. Only thing I wish would be a color other than DeWalt yellow. Gimme some fluorescent pink or lime green! Heck even a summer sky blue would work! Anything color that sets this apart from all other tools

Lock feature sucks

The lock feature is great. Very sturdy tool. A must-have for all homes.

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

Good one .. worth for the price

Really like this measuring tape! I originally bought it for my work bag but its a little too big for my purposes but I am still keeping it for at-home use. Its a hefty size with a protective case. I love that the measurements are easy to read so you can be really precise with your measurements.

I love this Measurement device it helps me put my life to scale

Good sturdy easy to read
