Great Magnetic Measuring Tape

The Swanson Tool measuring tape is an excellent tool for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. My analysis of this product showed that it is accurate, durable, and easy to use. The magnetic feature is a bonus, making it convenient to use while working alone. However, the tape locking feature can be a bit tricky and may take time to get used to. Overall, this is a reliable measuring tape that I would highly recommend.

Pros
  • Accurate, durable, and easy to use, magnetic feature
Cons
  • Tricky locking feature.

Don't roll back. for linear measurement

The numbers are huge. There is no return. The swivel at the end seemed useful, but it extends nearly 1/4 inch. Anyone who measures and cuts pipe knows that you have to line up your thumb and lower the blade, and your tape will click and twist between you and the pipe. This is not the ideal tape measure for plumbers.

Pros
  • Nylon coated blade reduces friction, resists wear and corrosion
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model

Excellent quality measuring and marking tools

- exudes quality and excellent performance. I will be very careful not to let the blade cut into the scabbard - this will damage/destroy any tape, regardless of manufacturer. - It has a belt clip that allows you to open it like an alligator clip to insert or remove it from your belt or pocket. I also have a Proscribe model for quickly marking long cuts. They're great for big hands and while they're heavy, they're worth it

Pros
  • Ideal for plumbers, electricians, shop assistants and DIY enthusiasts
Cons
  • Just received some Beetles
