Keson NR18200 Nylon Coated Steel Blade Measuring Tape with Zero Point at Tape End and Hook End (Graduations: ft., in. 1/8), 200-Foot

Been wanting a metal tape bit evem a 100 was to expensive. Built good and cant beat the price.

Sometimes you need to pull long distances and this product done the trick. Also seem very durable.

I use this professionally to measure outdoor home improvements and am used to these tapes not lasting even a year. I decided to splurge and try a steel tape this time. Definitely heavier than the standard tape, although not so heavy as to be uncomfortable. Definitely a lot more expensive too, at about triple the price. I dont love the end as it wont hook on to all surfaces when Im measuring by myself, so that could stand some improvement. I will say that it has yet to get tangled and the reel works flawlessly. Keson is the gold standard for tapes and wheels though, so Im hopeful this will last well, fingers crossed.

The quality was nice. Needed a metric tape to layout a metric tent. It was a nightmare trying to convert every single English measurement to metric. Product is easy to use. Too bad this isnt standard measurement around here. Much easier than inches and feet.

Steel tape with coating, will not stretch !

The coating over the steel makes for a nice, strong, easy to use and store product. Good value for the 200 at $67

Price and works well

TAPE IN INCHES NOT SPECIFIED NEED TENTHS

This is the best long tape Ive ever owned, and Ive owned many of them. Accuracy of steel tape with the ease of the large open reel.
