What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the tape measure for its large, bold, easy-to-read numbers visible even without glasses and in low-light conditions. The double-sided markings, high-contrast graduations, and wide tape that resists folding are frequently highlighted. Most reviewers describe solid build quality, smooth gliding, and reliable performance in harsh environments including rain and mud. However, some customers report critical mechanical failures including premature locking, spring failures, and housing cracks, suggesting inconsistent quality control. Despite these issues, most consider it a dependable workhorse tool.

Cheap fish makes smelly soup
Would Not RecommendPurchased based on lower price. Small project. 12 x 7 chicken coop. Without stepping on tape, it started to bow, twist, go off-hook. Better pay more, and buy the one that last longer, and not waste time.
Works great
Would RecommendLove the size

Love the Double Sides!
Would RecommendLove that this is double sided, and the other side reads horizontal. The tape glides smoothly, has a good size locking clip, and retracts promptly. Also, appreciate the size of the numbers, they are large enough to read.

It’s better than any other tape you wil ever find
This kobalt tape is stronger and last longer than any Stanley or dewalt ever could, 40 years in construction backing that up.
