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

Ive had this less than 2 months and not at all happy with the self-locking feature. It doesnt always stay and, the longer you extend it, the more likely it is to slip. You have to try and hold it down with one hand while marking your measurement with the other (which might be OK for approximate measurements, but definitely not for anything that has to be exact.) There is no manual lock - only a manual release. Ill find some use for this, but probably have to buy another tape.

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

Not a big tool gal, but had to leave a review because this truly is THE BEST tape measure. It locks automatically, easy to read the numbers and lightweight. Going to buy by my friends all one for Christmas. Excellent produc no

I admit Im an amateur at using measuring tape for longer distances, and I should not have pulled this past the redline where it says STOP. That being said, if you do this once and the tape breaks and the mechanism snaps and makes your measuring tape useless after one try, you should not be in the business of making measuring tape anymore. I remember as a child, playing with measuring tape I exceeded that red line many times with more generic products, and I dont remember it breaking until long term wear down and pulling. This felt like itll the tape was attached to a piece of used to dental floss that snapped on a slight tug. The fact that there is no break mechanism and it is so delicate, tells me this product is by definition, planned obsolete.

It works

Measuring tape is best I’ve ever used in quality and price.

Very good tool:)

Love love this measuring tape. Love that the tape measure automatically locks!

Great size, easy to use when measuring.

Excellent tape. Love the auto lock feature. Would have given it 5 stars if it had both inch and centimeter reading on it.
