Nice tape measure

Would Recommend

The price was the big selling point. It has numbers on both sides of the tape and it is wider so the numbers are large and easily read. It can easily hold the tape unassisted over 10 feet

rewind mechanism needs some work

i had high expectation for this tape. dont get me wrong i think its a good tape measurer still. super sturdy, standout to 13 feet easily, large numbers clearly marked to their respective lines, the brake slot for your finger, all good stuff. but I've went through 4 or 5 in just a few months that have unwound them selves inside and then became hard to close shortly after and finally braking

I usually use Stanley but this is by far a better tape measurer. The glide, the hold button and accuracy...for measuring....awesome
