Highlights
Quality
Really decent quality and feels like it will last!
Lock works great, feels heavy and durable in your hand.
Releasing it requires undue pressure, and when it does release, it jerks suddenly, posing a risk to fingers.
Good lock and feels good in hand, more shaped and rubberized than other tape measures.
Price
Not complaints, good price, works as expected
Always hunting for discount on them .
Packaging/appearance
It does what's required but the packaging was a bit much, to the point where i had to use my teeth to open this.
Competitiveness
However, this issue is common among spring-loaded retractable metal tapes, not specific to this brand or model.
