My 9 year old Komelon tape measure kinked and eventually the tape broke. I was surprised when I was able to find this updated Komelon volume on Revain. I'm so used to the "push to retract" feature that using the standard strap is inconvenient as the strap snaps back once removed. The markings on the tape are easy to read for my aging eye, and the tape isn't cluttered with "1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, etc." on each foot, making it virtually impossible. read without having to look for my reading glasses that I left somewhere in the store.
