Komelon SM5416 Speed Mark Gripper Acrylic Coated Steel Blade Tape Measure 16-feet by 1-Inch, White Blade

The lock feature broke right away but is easy to read

I am a cabinet maker, in low light areas around the shop, I find that the white helps make more accurate measurements, this is going to vary because it’s an opinion, other than that, I have had this for a few months. Has held up very very well. I love this.

When yer saying where’s my tape, ya can’t have to many ! For the money ya can’t beet it

Tape measure seems well built, fairly solid, and smooth action. Descent lock as well; however, the tape on mine is more light gray (not really white, or even off-white). Not meaning to sound bad, or complainy, but white tape is the main reason I ordered this one (thus my 3-star rating). I have a different measuring tape (and have seen some in stores, since I purchased this one) with actual white tape. Theres a difference. Anyway, I let the return-date slip by me, but its not a problem, as this has, like a said, a solid build, and I like a good wide tape (sturdy for long measurements when tape is in mid-air). Im sure itll be useful.

Works great. Easy to read. The outside is really grippy. Ive already dropped it on the concrete floor at work, with no apparent damage. Belt clip stays put and doesnt spin like on cheaper tape measures. Cant go wrong with this purchase for the price. I would buy it again.

I realized after this was delivered that I didn’t need it. When I started to use it though, I loved it so much I kept it. The numbers are easy to read, the tape measures out smoothly. I do wish that it wasn’t so flimsy but the easy read makes up for it!
