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

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.

Well, I’m left handed, as seen in the photos. This is the only thing I hate about it. It feels rugged and a bit heavy but only because it’s 25ft. I wanted something to measure all the windows, carpet lengths, etc. for remodeling and purchases. It has rubber gripper around it so it doesn’t slip away. It has notches around the top and back for more grip features. I would like the black print to be bolder, but it is still clearly visible. When I extend it out 20ft+ it does lose its rigidity but I’m not in construction so I don’t need an extra duty tape measure. This one meets all my expectations and needs.

I accidently got the tape measures by a random chance. I think it is a really well made product. I cannot really explain how I feel when I use it, but among several tape measures I own, I use this tape measure all the time.

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.

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.

Just received this and it is great! Retract is fast. Locks & unlocks easily with one hand. But I didnt think it would be as heavy as it is. I didnt pay notice to the weight. It is sturdy and is going to last a long time for sure. Told my 29year old grandson its his when I die, and Not until! Hes already eyeing it. This is a good product and well worth the money.

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!

good value for the price. I work in a wet and dirty environment It hurts when you ruin an expensive tape measure. These do the job for me.

This product works as expected.

This tape measurer is a slight and yet massive improvement over the previous two from major brands that Ive owned for over 20 years. Sure, its got big numbers on it in case youre going blind, but the real kicker for me is the retraction speed is far more controlled and slower. Its not the standard issue tape measurer where you unlock the tape and watch it snake across the room at top speed before trying to bite your hand and face. Instead, it takes twice as long to retract and doesnt whip lash in every direction at all. I think thats because the tape itself seems to be made of much heavier and sturdier material so its heavier and it doesnt bend as easily. Thus, it is slower to gain speed, and loses speed/momentum while recoiling as it is effected by gravity or air pressure (instead of bending and storing that momentum as it whiplashes like a spaghetti noodle being sucked up, becoming more dangerous with more length of tape). Such a slight change makes all the difference. Another feature I like is that the outside is mostly rubber, mind the clip, so you can set it down on more sensitive surfaces such as stained wood without concern. It can also take a short drop too without cracking the tile. Again, another slight adjustment that makes all the difference.
