This tape measure just does the job. I've used it to measure a couple of electrical wiring projects and measure distances from firing ranges and it works great for its purpose, no major complaints here! and then rewound. I really like the action on the spool, it doesn't snag or snag and I did a full 100 feet in less than 15 seconds so it works very well and very quickly. The plastic construction feels light but not cheap, and the coil-advance lock (semi-lock) is really useful if you don't want your 100-foot tape slipping away from you during intermediate measurements. All in all a good product, well made and does what it should, I will definitely buy again!
