CRAFTSMAN PRO-11 3-Pack Tape Measures

Good product, just too heavy for most of my tasks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a gift a few years ago. It has proved to be very durable and it has good stand out. Markings are easy to read. However, it is a bit heavy and clunky for my typical use. I have recently switched to a 12' Stanley that better suits my work.

Old reliable, only red

I lost my 16’ Stanley Fatmax on a jobsite one Friday and realized it was gone upon my return Monday morning. So I’m off to Lowe’s to get a new one only to find out that they have none. But they do have this one that looks and feels an awful lot like my missing tape. As I was pretty sure it was just a rebranded FaxMax (and having two Craftsman sawhorses at home that are clearly just the Dewalt/Stanley horses in red with different logos that I picked up BECAUSE they weren’t going to be mistakenly ...

Handiest All-around Size

I own many tape measures. This Craftsman 16ft is one of my favorites. It is not so huge and clunky that it drags your pants down to plumber butt territory when you hook it on a pocket. It fits comfortably in a hand. It is up to the majority of carpentry tasks that involve cutting lumber 12 ft or less. The locking mechanism actually locks and STAYS locked (unlike my other Stanley auto-lock tape). No problems retracting. It retracts with such force that you have to be careful that it doesn't hit y...

Unbelievable Reach

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this tape measure on the job now for several days and it has become my go-to tape. I usually use a 25’ tape but they are bulky and heavy. You hardly realize that you have the Craftsman on your side. It’s light weight and compact size makes it easy to wear. But even with its size the numbers are large and easy to read even in bad lighting. And when you need to get a long measurement the reach on this tape will get you there. Wh...

Great Tape!!!`

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved my tape measure probably close to a month ago now and i am so glad that it finally came in. i have been doing some redecoraing in my 4 month old room and the tape measure was very much needed in there. i love that it is small but not so small that you cant us it. it is like it is compact and it fits in my bag and pocket. i just love this tape i would recommend it to any one looking for a good tape. Craftsman is your product for sure

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieived this tape measure approximately a month ago and since have been able to use it for both work and a few DYI projects at home. I find that not having the best vision myself the large numbering makes it very easy to read. My dad and I recently constructed a raised garden bed and he found that the size and rubber coating on the tape measure made it very easy for him to handle since he has severe neuropathy. I am so far pleased with thi...

Horrible.

I've always liked and used Craftsman tools. But their tape measures are terrible. It is comfortable in your hand, bUT that is the ONLY positive comment. The tape is very flimsy, and won't stand out more than about 4' workout twisting and bending. This particular unit is supposed to be an auto lock blade. But it slowly creeps closed and will not lock in place. A contractor I work with purchased the more expensive 35' unit for measuring siding and windows. I thought he was gonna throw it in...

Magnetic Tip is Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I have used Craftsman tape measures for my entire life. I was bummed a couple of years ago when Craftsman decided a tape measure was no longer a "hand tool" and didn't qualify for their lifetime warranty / exchange. Other than that, I have had no issues with their tape measures. This specific tape measure with it's magnetic tip is great. It really helps hold the end of the tape still when there isn't anything to hook onto. It...

Easy to hold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this quality tape measure. It’s easy to grip and love how big the numbers are. It’s so simple to use and I know it will probably outlast me! I will be using it many times in the coming months as I’m moving cross country and re doing a condo. So it will get plenty of use!

Pro reach tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like the way it fit in your hand. When pulling the tape out it bend the tape and put a dent in it. Tape to thin did not like. The outside case was durable and easy to handle. Like the color. The no!bets marking was clear enough to read. The tape was wide enough but to thin. It bend to easily.
