Review on Komelon 6633: 300-Feet Open Reel Fiberglass Tape Measure in Vibrant Yellow by Shaun Stapp

I have bought this product twice and replaced it once from Revain. I've used it sporadically over the past few months and I can say that this tool does what it's supposed to do. As they say, there are better alternatives. Anyone who uses them for field or survey work knows that they don't last very long in everyday use unless you carefully apply or wrap the tape. The tape was tangled or wound incorrectly several times. This is because the metal thread that the tape runs through leaves too much room for the tape to twist and fold while winding. If you're not careful what you're doing, you can damage or ruin the pulley tension. . This has happened so many times that I probably won't be buying another one. The stylus is decent, but made of plastic. The way it attaches to the tool is very simple and you can break it if you're not careful. as backup. However, I found the 100ft DeWalt reel to be better for field use, more reliable, and only $16. Can't beat it
