Pros

Tylon™️ matte finish makes this tape measure the most durable and well-designed tape measure on the market. Imperial and metric markings allow for versatile measurements. Works with imperial and metric sizes.

Heavy but the retraction is strong & lasts a long time. Perfect for a contractor like him.



Cons

This tape measure is almost impossible to engage over the heftier curve to put in the lock position. This tape is not the nice thick metal of yore, it is a cheap coated fabric that droops completely over about 4ft. Do yourself a favor,pass on the fat ...  Read More

Quality


So much easier to read the numbers on a job site, and they are very sturdy.


The grip material on the shell is handy and keeps it from sliding when you take your hand off of it for a moment.

Competitiveness

    Im building a cottage that is 36 x 32 and didnt have a tape measure long enough to use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The end is rivited tightly so it holds the edge of the material being measured


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That’s ok but the most frustrating thing is that the tape won’t start returning on its own unless you give it an assist
