What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tape measure for exceptional accuracy, reliable performance, and thoughtful design. Most highlight the double-sided numbering, large bright numbers easy to read from multiple angles, and compact lightweight build that fits easily in pockets or tool belts. The non-twisting tape, strong retraction, and bright orange color for visibility are frequently mentioned strengths. Many appreciate the belt clip placement and sturdy construction. A few report isolated issues with bent clips or tape stiffness under heavy use, though these are rare and often viewed as trade-offs for the value. Overall, reviewers consider it an outstanding tool that exceeds expectations.

Very Accurate
Would RecommendI do Woodworking and need accuracy. Found this tape measure to be dead accurate with a Starrett Ruler. Will be buying more.
A very serviceable measuring tape.
Would RecommendI like the ergonomics of this tape. I have owned other measuring tapes made by Klein Tools and this one seems to just as good as my previous ones.

Good value
Would RecommendTape action is very smooth, easy to lock. Is consistently stiff for claimed 13' reach regardless of how tape is oriented, or whether horizontal or vertical. It feels well made.
User Friendly
Would RecommendThe blade is stiff enough to extend 10 feet and the lock is easy to use without having to push all the way down.
It feels good in the hand
Just using a few days. Might be my new favorite

Klein 16-ft Tape Measure
Would RecommendI especially liked the numbers on front and back of the tape and the "nylon" coating on the tape that greatly reduces glare and makes it easier to read.
Snapped second time I used it
