Komelon SM5425 Speed Mark Gripper Acrylic Coated Steel Blade Measuring Tape, 1-Inch X 25Ft , White

This measuring tape is of great quality for the price. It's perfect for a DIY-er as myself. May not be for a professional contractor, but very effective for the average home owner.Extremely satisfied

Very well made. Will do an almost level standout of 7 feet. Way better than most tape measures I have spent 2 to 3 times the cost of this one.Lock works perfectly; Not too tight or too loose. Tape edges are not sharp. Easy to read. Fairly heavy and very solid. Rubber outer casing works well to prevent slippage.U.S. brands need to take note of this company's quality and price point.I don't know how it would hold up in a professional setting, but for $10 and home use I don't think you'll find anything better.The one I got was a product of S. Korea assembled in Viet Nam.

better than i expected for the price, good build quality

Only tape I’ve been using for years.

As described

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.

It's a little heavy but it's sturdy and white backing with fraction marks what's not to like

Sturdy great price buy it.

El flexómetro se me hizo de muy buena calidad, es similar al de la marca dewalt

Is a good product to caculate proper length

I have a number of old wood working books and some newer ones from the USA all in imperial this tape is guest right its in inches with the 1/8 to 7/8 all mark out would recommend

This is an incredible secondary measuring tape. I have already been using the 16ft high res version of this at work for some time-- great for quick wood cutting measurements or figuring out the size of the pipe you need to adapt to.I say secondary because in Canada specifically, having a main tape that's a little more heavy duty and has metric is very useful for European, Arabic and other international clients who most often provide measurements in metric, so it takes the Googling/Math out of the equation, whereas the Komelon SM5425 is all about quick imperial measurement and I'd give a 7/10 in regards to build quality-- not the toughest, but still FAR better than anything else I've seen or used in this price range.The tape stand out (extending it as far as you can in the air before it breaks) seems to be around 10-11ft. All the black portions you see in the picture are rubberized while the white is a hard plastic. The belt clip has a little side-to-side give, which is needed if you hook it directly to your waist so you don't bruise your sides while leaning over. The greyish tape itself is quite non-reflective so if you're working outside or under large lamps, you don't need to worry about the direct light getting in your way. It has a decent heft for a 25ft-- not the lightest and not the heaviest I've used, but a good balance for larger hands.Overall, for the price, this tape is outstanding if you do NOT need metric and I've found it very useful for most woodworking and plumbing applications.If this helped, please click the button below!
