Review on πŸ“ Komelon Light Measure in White and Black by Chris Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fascinating design, excited for future Komelon products

Great idea to illuminate the tape measure. This is the first time I see such an opportunity. The body design is phenomenal and feels extremely comfortable in the hand. The size is VERY impressive for a 25 foot band. This is smaller than some of the 16 foot tape measures I've used. I have three problems with this tape measure: 1. When it arrived there was a crease at the very end of the tape near the hook. I was able to smooth it out a bit but it's still there and introduces a slight twist. 2. There is no way to hook the top of the band. Definitely reduces the usefulness of the double-sided design. I'm assuming this was done to keep the light path clear, but it may be an impediment for some.3. The selection is not very impressive. I have older Komelon models with a stronger band. Overall this is a really good band, perfect for certain purposes. However, if you frequently need a large stem or the ability to hook both ends of the band, you can wait for more new Komelon bands to come out in early 2020.

Pros
