What Customers Are Saying

This tape measure is well-constructed with durable, heavy-duty materials. It has large, easy-to-read markings and an impressive standout capability, extending up to 15 feet without buckling. The versatile end hook can grip from multiple angles, and the smooth retraction has a thumb brake for controlled speed. However, some users found the tape to be a bit flimsy, the belt clip loose, and the retraction too strong. Overall, this is a reliable and feature-rich tool suitable for both DIY and professional use.

not heavy duty

Would Not Recommend

I've had this tape measure about 6 months and liked it, but yesterday I realized it was reading 1/16th off. I examined it and the hook had broken through the metal tape and was stuck in the exterior measurement position (adding 1/16 to all measurements instead of just exterior ones). I pulled the hook out of where it was stuck and shortly after, the tear it had made in the tape measure spread, and the head tore off. Had to toss it, unfortunately.

Good product

Would Recommend

This 25-ft tape measure is a solid purchase! It’s durable, easy to read, and has a smooth retracting mechanism. The locking feature works well, and the rubberized grip makes it comfortable to handle. It’s perfect for both small projects and larger measurements. Overall, a great tool for the price

Endhook play not accurate.

Would Not Recommend

I like that this is heavy duty (although the strong recoil can pinch fingers if not careful), but my main complaint is that the endhook play/float is more than the thickness of the end hook itself, resulting in inaccurate measurements. It's okay for rough measurements, but nothing precise.

Not the best design

Would Not Recommend

First, this thing is quite sturdy. Second the hook design is very good and a magnet away from being outstanding. The bad comes when you try to lock the tape. The stop on the inside of the tape, the part that presses down on the tape to hold it in place, gets damaged by the rivets that hold the hook in place. After some time and normal use the rivets damage the stop to the point it will no longer lock the tape. It makes this thing nothing more than a silly looking paperweight. If the st...

Really liked the tape while it lasted.

Would Not Recommend

Bought this less than a year ago. I loved the black tape with light marks and thought this would be a good everyday use tape. In less than a year the markings are coming off. I'll be tossing this and going with another brand.

For less money there's much better options!!!!

Would Not Recommend

No matter how hard i tried to like this product i just couldn't. The tape was very flimsy and would often bind during retracting or extending.
