CRAFTSMAN Tape Measure, 25 ft, Retraction Control and Self-Lock, Rubber Grip (CMHT37225)

The metric system is a truly wonderful thing! This is the tape measure I grab. The others (non-metric) kicking around the garage will end up getting dusty on a shelf.

So far so good.

No issue, heavy and durable

I use this in my workshop and it easy to, read and love the lock feature

The tape metal is a little thin and it drops when extended over 3 feet. If the tape measure tape was a little but stiffer or stronger, easy 5 star. Case is solid, lock system is great and the easy read system is great!

I run a small wood shop in my spare time and I bought a wide selection of tape measures in search of the best one. This is a great tape measure but not “the one”. However that is only because of my own preferences. This tape measure is perfectly fine. Easy to read, feels sturdy and overall is a great addition to my kit. Going on 3 weeks of intermittent use (as of Aug 21’)and will update down the road if it fails before it should.

Must have gotten a defective unit since people generally positive towards this one, but mine doesnt retract. Tried locking and unlocking, no avail.

I love everything about this tape measure but in the pictures the tape is white with red and black writing. However the tape measure I received is just the basic yellow with black writing. I was excited to have a different and cool looking tape measure but I was sorely disappointed when I saw it.

This is my new favorite tape measure. The auto lock feature is great. The tape has a matte finish that is easier to read than most. It has a sturdy feel to it. A bit heavy, but perfectly fine.
