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.

Best all-around office tape measure.
Would RecommendI needed a sturdy tape measure for office use. It fills the bill in a compact, easy-to-use unit.
Not the quality I have come to expect from Klein t
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.
Sturdy, font is easy to read

Would RecommendIt’s a great tape measure for small projects
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.
