I didn't know what to expect but this thing is perfection. I work in construction management but rarely need a full length 25ft tape. But I often have to measure things from a few inches to a few feet, so it's reassuring to know I'll always have that with me. Very convenient size, like the fact that it's the size of a keychain. Highly recommended! I have other Lufkin roulettes, they are a great product at all price points.
