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

You will not be dissapointed.

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!

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.

Good one .. worth for the price

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.

Tape measures are like pens. I seem to lose them, leave them, or just have them borrowed and never returned. And, they are never around when I need one. So, I like to have a good tape measure in multiple areas and also have one available. This one fits the bill. It is extremely well made. The mechanism is good and the tape is sturdy. It has easy to read numbers and retracts/extracts without issues. A great price and great item.

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

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.

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!

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.
