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

Great locking feature for a more accurate measure.

Not much more to say. Lol. We needed a new one because they lock feature on our old one broke. The lock feature on this works, and the numbers/markers are easy enough to read. I did see reviews about it not retracting super fast. Bec so many people mentioned it, I was expecting something extraaaa slow and gentle. I wouldn’t say it’s significantly more gentle than others, but definitely not as quick/dangerous of a retract! Def not a bad tape measure, and a great price!

Great

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.

The Bad News: Its not made in the U.S.A., and that made it tough to buy at the outset. The Good News: You name it. Every feature of this Komelon tape measure is top tier. The accuracy, markings, horizontal extension, retraction strength, and overall fit and finish make it the best tape measure Ive ever owned.

No dislikes

I realized after this was delivered that I didn’t need it. When I started to use it though, I loved it so much I kept it. The numbers are easy to read, the tape measures out smoothly. I do wish that it wasn’t so flimsy but the easy read makes up for it!

This was a Christmas gift & I was happy to give a tape with the fractions labeled. High quality & hubby loved his gift. Excited to simplify measuring. One thing that made us CRAZY! The packaging!! Sent by Amazon—is there need for shoplifter proof packaging? Took 10 minutes to remove from the plastic.

Faciu de usá-lo

I got tired of fighting the POJ Stanley - so i bought 2 of these. What a nice surprise!! The ruler pull out/retract is almost effortless and quite smooth, and the measure increments are easy to read - even for an old coot like me! :) Plus - the whole thing is just the right size. It fits easily in my hand and makes managing it all much easier. Only thing I wish would be a color other than DeWalt yellow. Gimme some fluorescent pink or lime green! Heck even a summer sky blue would work! Anything color that sets this apart from all other tools
