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

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.

Very easy to read/use tape measure. The tape itself is sturdy and the tape measure overall feels well built. My only complaint would be that the locking feature feels like it will break at any moment. It feels like the lock will break every time you engage it (it hasnt broken yet). Also, this tape measure does not have metric markings. That isnt an issue for me, but may be an issue for you.

does what it supposed to do and is very sturdy. However, I am 75 and have small hands. Should have taken that into account before picking a tape measure. Is too big and heavy for me. However for most people this would be a perfect choice.

I was a bit disappointed because I thought (from the questions and answers) that this was, like many other from this brand, an auto lock type, unlike most other tapes. This means that you pull it out and it stays where leave it until you release it and cause it to retract. This one is conventional, so you need to explicitly lock it. Like most tapes, you can lock it first, then pull it out, but you need to be careful not to accidentally press the release, which is easy to do. I do like the fact that it has fractions of an inch marked for every inch.

lock feature is awesome and easy to read and accuracy is on point.

All good

No dislikes

This measuring tape is the best. Easy to see numbers, locks well, sturdy metal tape and the heavy duty plastic casing is tough but not bulky or super heavy

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.

This tape measure is my go-to tape measure while Im in the wood shop building things. It feels solid, and can take a beating (Ive dropped it more times than I care to count). The square bottom with the rubberized cover is perfect to set it down on the surface youre measuring, and it keeps it from sliding back or retracting. I took off one star for the locking feature, because the lock doesnt always engage if that side of the tape measure housing is against the edge of whatever youre measuring. Outside of that, I have no complaints at all. I have both the 16 and 25 versions, but the slightly more compact form of the 16 makes it the standard tape measure that lives in my shop apron.
