Komelon SL2816; 16 x 3/4 Self-Lock Tape Measure

The measure tape is very good quality if not better than the more expensive alternatives. Would be even better if it has both inch and cm

Easy to retract and stays in place when pulled out. Durable and goes to 25 feet.

This works, but I found that for the price, the quality could have been better. I ended up returning it and went to the store to buy a good old Stanely tape measure. But this would definitely work for most people in a pinch. Or who doesnt want to go to the store to purchase a tape measure.

I like the auto locking feature. It took a few times using it to get used to it locking on its own when extended but its a great design.

This tap measure is just what I wanted. My last one, different brand , just snapped, so I thought Id have to shell out another 25 bucks for a new one. Came across this Komelon ,and it not only has the self stop feature, but also the retract button that wont smack you in the face. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, for one reason. The hard plastic packaging. There are layers upon layers of this material, and it takes forever to get it off. I needed scissors and a utility knife to get it out. And it was very dangerous, because of the sharp edges from the plastic and tools, could have very easily cut myself. I was thoroughly ticked off by the time I was done. The hardest part was getting the belt clip free, as it is swathed above it, on the sides, and below it where its screwed in place. I cant believe some moron came up with this design, and other morons approved it. There have to be dozens of easier ways to package this tape measure, like maybe a cardboard box, but they picked this one. Theres no way Ill buy another when this one bites the dust, unless they change the packaging. Id rather pay the extra money, than to go through the grief of opening this one.

Measures accurately- automatic lock works well.

Great size, easy to use when measuring.

As soon as this tape measure arrived, my husband said and I quote, “I am so jealous!” He has the standard tape measures, but none are as substantial as this nor have an awesome locking feature that the Komelon has. I needed this in my nursing job, where I have to measure distances that people are able to walk in their homes. This is easily read from a standing position when it’s on the floor and stays in its locked position. Big, hearty recommendation!

Nothing but pros for this tape. Tape is stiff enough you dont always have to have a second set of hands (when you cant hook onto anything). The tape will lock in the out position which is super handy. Tape overall is durable. Only down side, dont open it out past 24 9. It will fall apart.

The thing jammed in its second day. Theres actually YouTube videos on how to repair the jams because theyre so common with this brand. I tried repairing myself but made it worse. But a better brand
