📏 Accurate and Efficient: CRAFTSMAN Measure Self Lock 25 Foot CMHT37225S Review

Do not buy this tape measure. I like the easy to read numbers on the tape. The product itself seems durable, but the ribbon retract function broke on me after about 5 uses. Never abused. Used in normal situations. Just broken and won't retract making it unusable. waste of $$. That's the Craftman name for you. Now it's garbage.

I have used the Craftsman tape measure my entire life. I've been surveying homes for flooring for 40 years and they have never let me down. I always carried a backup tape with me, just in case, and if it broke, all I had to do was take it to my local Sears store and get a new one. I hope that level of service will continue with this new one after I have retired.

Self-locking just right, but unlike other self-locking ones I've had, this one has a clearly labeled "lock" and "unlock" toggle button at the top. On my old self-locking, I kept pressing the unmarked button and releasing it when I didn't want to, as I often switch between self-locking and manual locking strap. My old one didn't have any "lock" mode other than force-locking self-locking either. This style Craftsman uses is…

Tired of dealing with annoying fractions and conversion problems. Wasting time converting projects from all over the world into an archaic lineage? It's 2021 on the calendar, so you know it's time to join the 20th century. That's right, the 20th, because the rest of the world switched to METRIC decades ago! Move with the times, strap a real tool to your belt and at the same time fully immerse yourself in working with metric and standard units. Your rational mind and far-sighted thinking…

When I was in my 40's I lost the ability to see up close. I bought 6 pairs of reading glasses and scattered them around the house. Well I just got this tape measure for my 50th birthday and now I want to place 6 of them around the house. I have several roulettes of different brands, styles and ages. My favorite used to be the 25ft Self-Locking Comelon, but it had standard sizes on one side of the band and metric on the other. I had already found that I couldn't see anything that wasn't within…
