5.0 out of 5 stars Overall very durable.
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2024
For a "dummy tape" this happens to be one of my favorites for the price. Smooth pullout and retract. Easy to read numbers, have dropped it a few times and not even a scratch on it. Clip does seem to be difficult to clip on belt buckle sometimes, but I prefer than than the alternative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Measuring Tape
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024
Don't be fooled by the inexpensive price, this is a great measuring tape. The locking mechanism works perfectly and tape has sufficient delineations between the inches to measure incredibly accurately. Plus, it is sturdy and well-built. This measuring tape will last. Put it in your kitchen drawer or tool box. It is a great tool to have around the house. Overall, a great buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars It’s a Tape Measurer
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021
Not much more to say. Lol. We needed a new one because they lock feature on our old one broke. The lock feature on this works, and the numbers/markers are easy enough to read. I did see reviews about it not retracting super fast. Bec so many people mentioned it, I was expecting something extraaaa slow and gentle. I wouldn’t say it’s significantly more gentle than others, but definitely not as quick/dangerous of a retract!
Def not a bad tape measure, and a great price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enough for home projects.

Good visibility of dimensions. But the tape is a soft alloy. It collapses over a long distance. But in principle it is enough for home projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best tape measure I've owned

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!

I love this Komelon Gripper Speed-Mark tape measure. My old thin/cheap one that I used upstairs finally pushed me to the brink to the point where I wanted a new one. I have a Craftsman that I use as well but that is in the 'shop.' If you're using a cheap tape measure, you know the dance of trying to get the tape to stay extended with our bending because of the cheap gauge of metal used in the tape. Not so with this Komelon. It's extremely sturdy. In fact, while holding the tape measure I can extend it almost 8' unsupported before it 'breaks.' Pretty incredible.

Additionally, the gray tape is very easy to read and I love the measurements being listed in 1/8 increments with unlisted 1/16 marks as well. The roller mechanism is smooth and the locking mechanism sturdy and secure.

A tape measure is one of those things easy to skimp on early in life when you don't understand the difference quality makes. And then when you upgrade, you'll never go back. This is the case with this Komelon and it's an easy repurchase if I need another one. I've even considered replacing my trusty Craftsman.

For a basic Measuring Tape, this is a great value. All of the construction materials are well designed and seem sturdy. For the price, I recommend this Measuring Tape if you need one.
