Review on πŸ“ Komelon SL2925 Power 25-Foot Speed Measuring Tool by Viswanath Lopez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The feed mechanism stalled after a little over a month - was it wet weather, poor build quality, or both?

as a present for a welder friend who used it to measure the distance between a tubular steel frame. After a little over a month, the retraction mechanism jammed. Too late to get a refund or replacement from Revain and in too used condition on site to be eligible for a Komelon warranty. The welder was very happy with it while it lasted. I believe the tape measure was measuring the current weather - here in the Texas Hill Country it rained almost every day for the month he was using it, it would rain or it was dead wet weather, and those are very unusual conditions. for the area and for its normal workload. I would have to split the difference between one star for poor manufacture and/or durability and three stars for experience if it actually worked. This is an item that is made in China unlike some other tape measure manufacturers who make their tape measures in the US and I probably should have bought from them. But I will try the Komelon SS130SS Gripper which is said to have improved rust resistance and see how that model performs before I buy the more traditional and standard brand.

Pros
  • Measuring and marking-out tools
Cons
  • I don't remember I bought
