Komelon 4912IM: High-Performance 12 📏 Ft Metric Measuring Tape for Professionals Review

I was looking for a tape measure with inch/feet and centimeter scales. It was one of the few tapes I found that contained both. Also, I wanted the scale to be continuous. Some bands had their measurements reset every 10cm, this band keeps counting up to 11, 12, etc. and does not reset to 1 after every 10th mark (see image). In general I am satisfied with the quality of the tape. The product description of this band is wrong. This is a yellow ribbon

I carry about five of these knives with me so I don't have to look for them when I need them. It is precise and durable, the lock works, the spring has never failed. One of its advantages is the lack of sharp corners. It fits easily in your pocket and won't wear down the fabric of your pants. Put another tape measure in the box for an hour and you'll appreciate the Komelon design. A length of 12 feet is sufficient for 98% of the measurement work. Are you attached to a gift for a friend?

Wow. You may be thinking what could be so amazing about a tape measure. Well I've been a professional carpenter for years and just bought this little guy to have on hand for those quick little home projects that I don't want to lug around my whole tool belt. For the price paid I wasn't expecting much. But here's why it's so amazing: 1) light weight 2) nylon coated blade for super smooth movements 3) even though it's only 3/4 inch wide, the extra curvature allows it to stretch surprisingly far…

I needed to replace an old Craftsman 12ft tape measure and decided on this one. I don't use them nearly as often as I did when I was younger, but when you need them, you need them exactly when. That's all I wanted. Light. Continuous. The tape is stiff enough to stretch about 5 feet before losing linear strength. Long enough. As long as the old master who broke his spring and didn't want to retract. An added bonus is the CM marking to complement our standard IN/FT. I noticed a review that…

The item is still in its original packaging, more than three years after purchase. In deciding to write this review, I chose not to take the instrument out of its original packaging and ended up taking it to the grave. Well not quite, I intend to revise my will and ask my attorney to open this tape after my death and open the package for the sole purpose of measuring the depth of my hole. In fact, I would like this tape to be used only for that purpose, at least in my lifetime. For now I'm…

I wear dungarees when I do housework. Since there is no belt, I carry a 12ft band in my pocket. I had some difficulties with the last two cassettes, although they were both released by very reputable companies. Each one was replaced because the markers wore off the first few inches, making them difficult to use for small measurements. The second was also too flexible and could not be pulled out more than a few feet without collapsing; doesn't help at all when working alone. The finish on this…

Overall this is a great tape measure, sturdy, easy to read and compact. But its best feature is that it is marked in inches (1/16 inch resolution). and metric. So I think this is the best way to get a better understanding of the metric equivalents of the more well-known inch measurements. I tried to find a small project case on Revain and a lot of them quote metric sizes. intuitive feeling 70mm. Sounds huge, but I know a millimeter is pretty small. So really, how big are most small things. I…
