What Customers Are Saying
The Lufkin tape measure is praised for its durable construction, easy-to-read markings, and accurate measurements. Many users find it provides good value for occasional or light-duty use. However, some customers noted the feet markings are hard to read, the tape feels a bit flimsy, and the locking mechanism is not as ergonomic as other models. Overall, the majority of reviews are very positive.

Would Not RecommendThis tape measure sits in my desk drawer except for using 3-4 times a year. Not a mark on the housing; you would mistake it for brand new if I were to return it to the store shelf. Very light use. The tape just suddenly jammed and will not extend or retract. And no the lock isn't on. What can I say, I'll buy another brand given this only has only one year warranty. I may disassemble it to see what is wrong given it's useless in its current condition.
Self centering great for those that need it.
Would RecommendNice tape,love the self centering as I build cabinets. But not the best materials used as these dont seem to last long before they are coming apart,jamming up,etc. But for the price, cant really complain.
Amazing for the price
Would Recommend8ft stand out, measures out to 32nds of an inch, self centering is very useful. I bought 10 gave some out to my friends and coworkers and they all love them
Nice feature, crappy hold switch
Would RecommendBought this to replace one I lost. I like the self centering feature but the lock switch is much too hard to operate.
Tape broke
Would Not RecommendI have a 25 and 35 foot lufkin tape that both broke. One broke around 32" and caused a nasty gash on my finger while retracting. I am a homeowner and don't use and abuse them everyday. Total garbage, I will spend the money and buy a Stanley next time
It measures but not Metric. Difficult Packaging.
Would RecommendIt does what a tape measure does; measures, locks, and retracts. Self-centering feature is nothing to write home about; rather would have had metric. The packaging was very difficult to get off; almost ripped off the belt clip.
Compact and durable
Would RecommendThe actual tape is lightweight but very strong/durable. Tape hasn't slipped and retracted on my fingers, so, so far so good!
Centering made easy
Would RecommendThe Lufkin self centering tape measure takes all the guess work out of finding the centerpoint of any meaurement. The easy to read numbers on the lower portion of the tape measure provide an accurate center point for the measurement at hand.
