Does the job, could be better

Fairly well made with clear markings. The self-locking isn't fixed as securely as we'd like. The bottom of the tape measure isn't flat, so it can tip over while you're manipulating the other end, which can be annoying. It mostly does odd jobs, but if you measure a lot, look for something better.

Pros
  • Tape Measure (2-pack) with MID accuracy and inch and metric scale; Sizes up to 25 feet (8 meters)
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Very durable and the auto lock feature works great!

Unfortunately I made it just a few days before it was stolen (this tape replaced my previous stolen one and the previous one). But the short time I had to use it I was very satisfied. The band locked automatically, which was a great feature at my job, where I usually hold it with one hand. I will probably buy it again if not returned within a week.

Pros
  • Items each 2.0 x 3.5 x 3.4 inches
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

Fragile strap, hard locking mechanism, cheap rubber case

I got this because I had a $10 Amazon Basics coupon and I would never buy it again. For me, one of the main advantages of self-locking tape measure is that you can pull the tape measure to the end of the object to be measured without leaving it. This band is too thin to make anything larger than 4 or 5 feet. The locking mechanism is also very firm (sometimes you have to push it back in for it to retract). Also, the rubber portion of the case wasn't installed properly when I opened it out of the

Pros
  • Self-locking mechanism with release button allows inner band to slide in and out smoothly
Cons
  • disappears
