Review on Komelon 7425 MagGrip 25ft Magnetic Measuring Tape: Unparalleled Efficiency at Your Fingertips by Charles Collier

My husband is a contractor and he says this is one of the best tapes he has ever owned. It finally wore out after 5 months when the locking teeth stopped holding the band in place as well. He claims that it was probably his fault that he was in a hurry and kept the strap with the locking mechanism stopping all the time, causing the locking teeth to wear out. Time to buy another! The retreat is slower. Better than other tapes where it cuts your hands. Update - bought a second tape - after that it just broke for me. 8 months of intensive use. Buy another!
