Heavy, bulky

Would Recommend

Its nice having the measurements on both sides, thats quite handy. However for a 16' tape it is exceptionally heavy and rathy bulky, not very ergonomic at all. It is actually heavier than some of my 25' ft tapes. Big fan of Irwin products. Hope they redesign this one.

Well made.

Would Recommend

Not a cheap piece, very well made, reinforced first few inches make a big difference as well as the finger brake.

Tape measure

Would Not Recommend

Liked the tape if it had held up longer one month measuring windows every day and the tape starts to rip. Lowes should swap it for a new one but Noooo Lowes Said have to go to manufacture well I didn’t purchase it from manufacture 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great features poor quality

Would Not Recommend

Love the features this tape measure offers especially the finger brake. Unfortunately after just 2 days on the jobsite the tape bent badly rendering it useless. I considered returning it for another one hoping it was a fluke but ultimately decided to get my money back. If they would improve the tape quality they'd have a real winner until then look elsewhere.

Great design

Would Recommend

I like the rubber all the way around the outside, making it really durable. And if you peel the sticker off the front, it gives you a place to write all your measurements on the tape measure. Also like the double sided numbers on the tape.

Hard to deploy when wearing gloves. The end hook could have been a little longer to make this better.
