Pros

The special coating has a velvety feel. It is stout and reads like a champ. My needs are very basic so even it it's not heavy duty it serves my purpose.

The metric markings and signage are clear and easy to read. I'm in the usa where we like our bald eagles screeching and out measuring tools imperial. Metric is the way to go if you're marking and cutting (or drilling) for a project.

Recommend this tape measure, but wear gloves and bring a good set of shears to cut it out of the package.

Competitiveness

I was wrong, it is stout and reads like a champ.

He has a lot of the bigger name-brand tape measures, but as he says they end up walking out of his toolbox and not coming back.
