CRAFTSMAN Tape Measure, 25 ft, Retraction Control and Self-Lock, Solid Chrome Finish, Rubber Grip (CMHT37325S)

Como la deseaba.

Works wonderfully

This is a quality and durable tool. The ruler slides out smoothly and recoils well. The lock stays engaged when depressed. It looks like it will last a long time. My only complaint is that every measuring tape I have owned prior had two scales on the ruler (inches on top and centimeters along the bottom). I often work in metric, so not having this option makes the ruler less useful for me. I didnt think it was clear from the picture/description that it only has inches. Maybe for most people this is a non-issue, but for those who like to work in the metric system, I thought Id post this.

I bought this a year ago but just used it the first time in some construction. After one day the inside fell apart and it will not retract on its own.

The price was good

This tape measure has too small of a belt clip causing it to fall off your belt each time you lean over. Also the tongue that grips the board is to small as well causing it to slip off very easily.

A lot of new tapes are too bulky and heavy. This 25 foot tape looks like a 16 foot. Small, durable, and easy to read. Extends and Retracts smooth and not too fast. Also it doesn’t have any 32” marks which is a plus. Sometimes cheaper is better. A tape measure doesn’t have to be too fancy and be able to survive a 60 foot fall. Keep it simple. And that’s what this craftsman is.

Being careful to find a tape described as USA made, and displaying a USA flag on the item I bit. What I got was an item appearing elsewhere as a thai product I passed over. Right now I attempted to jump through the Amazon hoops but this gets frozen, second time through. Im playing by the rules, apparently Amazon does not.

Good value
