Here are the many reasons I love this tape measure:
1. It's the perfect size. It fits right into the average sized hand and is easy to handle.
2. The build quality is solid. The exterior of the tape measure feels well constructed and soft to the touch. It doesn't have any sharp corners or pieces to worry about cutting your hand on. The tape itself has a nylon finish to help protect the numbers and tick marks from wearing away over time.
3. It is clear and accurate. All numbers and tick marks are clearly labeled and are easy to read. I would spend half the time figuring out what number a particular tick was supposed to be on my old tape measure, and this eliminates the guesswork and wasted time. The tape is also reversed as well, meaning the tick marks and numbers run along both sides of the tape, making it easy to use in any orientation.
4. It comes with cool extra features that no other tape measures (or at least the ones I've seen) have. The outside of the roll is made for writing down your measurements so you don't forget them. There is a button at the bottom just behind the tape slot that allows you to hold the tape in place without having to slide down the tape lock. There is a pencil sharpener on the back of the tape measure for sharpening up your pencil without having to stop what you're doing to go find that pencil sharpener you put somewhere else.
This is a high quality, reliable, durable, accurate, and freaking awesome tape measure. Honestly, I put off buying it because I thought to myself, it's just a tape measure. How much different could it be from other tape measures? They all measure lengths, yes. But this one just makes measuring so much easier and simpler to do. I was convinced I had to buy it once I saw one of my favorite woodworkers on Youtube using this tape measure. And he owns tons of high end equipment and many precision tools. This is the tape measure he uses.
Do what I did and buy this immediately. You won't regret it.
I’ve had this one for two major projects now and it is still performing well. I built a 600sqft floating deck with pressure treated lumber and am currently installing a 450, paver stone patio. In both cases the tape has been performing beautifully. Both environments have been dirty weather saw dust, crushed granite, or sand. This tape has been dropped from heights of 8’ and I’ve retracted the tape through PT wood saw dust and leveling sand. It still retracts like the day o bought it.
As for the bonus features that I like the most, I’m always guessing at the actual measurements because I’m not the greatest at mental math and this tape labels each and every tick mark on the tape in both directions left and right. Talk about easy to read! I also love the writing surface in the side of the tape to write the measurements with pencil. There is even a pencil sharpener on the side. Thankfully I switching to a pica style long tip mechanical pencil so I can use the sharpener. Would not work for a carpenter pencil. Not that that matters since I also reach for my knife to sharpen those anyways.
If I had a wish list, i with the foot markers were a little more bold or perhaps a different color. And I wish the buckle on the side was slightly bigger to make it easier to hook onto my tool belt clip.
I would highly recommend this tape! I have bought tapes 4 times this price that kicked the bucket long before this little guy. For the price, I am going to buy a couple more to keep around for when I inevitably bust this one.
