What Customers Are Saying

The Craftsman tape measure is generally well-received, with users finding it to be of good quality, sturdy, and easy to read. The compact size and clear markings are appreciated. However, some users have experienced issues with the tape bending, getting stuck, or not retracting properly. The markings have also been described as poor quality or hard to read by a few customers. While most consider it a good value, a small number feel it is not worth the money due to quality concerns. Overall, the tape measure seems to work well for most users, but those with concerns about durability or functionality may want to consider alternative options.

Great Tape Measure

Would Recommend

Compact size is really handy especially for a 30 foot tape. Feels well built with a smooth action on the tape and retrieval mechanism.

It measures but best part, it retracts. Which is the very reason I purchased this new one.

Lowes tools

Would Not Recommend

Last about 30 days then it does not retract. I have minimal options for tools and unfortunately Lowes is my most convenient option.

Horrible, flimsy tape measure

Would Not Recommend

On the very first use, the tape whipped back into the carrier, bent against itself, and struck me on the top of my hand breaking the skin and causing it to bleed. I've never had a tape to that.

Brake Gets Stuck

Would Not Recommend

The brake locks in place and won't release. I've had to disassemble it twice to get the brake unstuck. It's going back.
