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

Its perfect! Auto locks so you aint fighting the thing trying to get a measurement!

This definitely does the job. Much easier to lock than other tape measures. Easy to read. Easy to find and no one steals it because it doesn’t look like every other tape measurer! Haha

If you are someone that needs a tape measure like this for daily use (construction, etc.), pay a little more for one that will last. This is good for occasional use, but will not last for regular use.

Have always used the self retracting tapes where you had to manually lock them. Its so great not having to worry about the tape snapping back because the end wasnt secure. It takes a little getting use to working backwards, pushing the button to extend / retract the tape, but it doesnt take long before you really appreciate the difference. The tape is easily readable. Not sure about how long the self locking mechanism will last, but so good, so far.

I love the locking feature. Ive snapped my fingers with tape measures in the past. Not possible with this tape measure.

Thank you

The first time he used it, he went to the end of the measure tape, it twisted, he was unable to retract it. We threw it away.

I bought hubby the multi pack. I know exactly where at least 8 are now! They are easy to see and I love the pull and stay until released feature. Good size. Great quality.

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.

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
