Would RecommendI got this to measure something that was clearly longer than the 30' tape I had. And it worked perfectly. Very easy to use. And the markings are very visible
Kobalt measuring tape
Would RecommendEasy to use and it’s a decent design. My only issue is that when you are measuring, allow for the tape to be pulled out of the roll, do not use the handle to feed the tape out. This will cause the tape to loop internally and get jammed/knotted. The only way for me to correct it was to take the plastic frame apart and untangle the tape. Other than that, seems pretty well built.
Kobalt 300-ft Measureing Tape
Would RecommendI had an old 300' tape that recently broke. I'd had it for about 20 years. When I went looking for a new one, THIS is what I found! LOVE IT!!! It even has a little removable plastic stake built into the handle to secure the end of the tape when you're the only one there measuring. No need to have someone hold the end of the tape for you. Genius! Another fine Kobalt product from Lowe's. Better than what I could have asked for, a GREAT tool!
Looking for property lines!
Would RecommendThe stake that attaches to the tape reel when not in use really helped when measuring off my property lines, I did not notice the stake until I was in the process.

Features are great
Would RecommendI shop Lowe’s stores often being in the construction industry and today I purchased the cobalt open reel fiberglass tape 100 foot size I noticed two features on this type that I had not seen before having not purchased a open reel tape in a few years however these two theaters really impressed There is a ground stake clipped to the back of the Tape making it easy to anchor one end of the tape as you measure the distance secondly at the opening where the tape passes when reeling it in there ...

300 foot long tape measure
Would RecommendThis is a very handy piece of merchandise. It saved me from paying 500.00 to a survey company to find my property boundaries.
Great tape for the price!
Would RecommendThis is the third one of these I have purchased. Not because they aren’t good but because I use it almost daily in my work. Not used under the best conditions either. Very pleased with how they hold up. Lasts about two years. Love the ground stake that latches on the back. It’s very handy when landscaping or other items prevent you from getting close enough to what you are trying to measure to hook the tape on.
