What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tape measure for exceptional value, reliable performance, and thoughtful design. Most highlight accurate measurements, double-sided numbering visible in awkward positions, and large clear markings that reduce eye strain. The non-glare coating enhances visibility, while the ergonomic design with smooth locking mechanism and controlled retraction impresses users. Many compare it favorably to expensive models. The lightweight, compact build feels premium for the price. A few report isolated issues like minor measurement variance or slow retraction, but most consider it outstanding value that exceeds expectations.

Would Not RecommendWide rigid tape makes it easy to extend than narrower 16 ft tapes. These tapes do not retract well and the belt clip is very weak and will bend and lose it's spring if you brush against something.

Measures up
Would RecommendA little sleepy on the retract for my taste, but I like it overall. The smaller size makes it easier to keep at hand and I appreciate the double sided rulers.

Not great
Would Not RecommendWhen I bought it, I noticed that darn near everyone of the ones on the shelf did not retract good. The tape simply does not recoil good once I started using it outside in the elements. It definitely did not recoil. I use Fatmax tapes all the time. This is definitely not a Gatmax, but if you were using it inside, I’m sure it works great. One thing is you don’t have to worry about your fingers getting pinched from the tape flying back in.

Locking mechanism breaks tape
Would Not RecommendAfter about a year of use, the locking mechanism teeth break through the metal tape rendering it useless. This is my second one to have this happen.
