Komelon 425IEHV High-Visibility Professional Tape Measure Bother Inch and Engineer Scale Printed 25-Feet by 1-Inch, Chrome

Giant number to read making it easy to measure. Very durable as I use it for checking grade for a rough measurement while digging.

Product came in timely manner, high quality, great material.works great. 100% recommend.

The Komelon 433IEHV tape measure is a fantastic tool! Its high-visibility markings and durable 1-inch blade make measuring easy. The dual inch/engineer scale is super handy, and the 33-foot length is perfect for big jobs. Highly recommend!

As a contractor I go through 1-2 tape measures a year. I've had a Komelon for 25 years and it's still going.

Have had this about a month or soPros:+Great standout+ Strong belt clip+ The matte hi-vis color actually helps with readability, as opposed to yellow or white+ 33' Tape plays out very smoothly+ Measurements in both Imperial (inches, fractional feet) AND *Engineers/Surveyors (tenths, decimal feet)Neutral Quibbles/ It's shiny and, so, is occasionally blinding. Avert your gaze accordingly./ It's heavy(ish). I'm accustomed to 25' tapes and this is noticeably heavier. I upgraded because I never got the full 25' with other tapes; a little more weight is not a problem/ The lock is the standard slide type. I had grown rather fond of pushing a button to retract the auto-locked tapeCons:-This sucker is slippery. Outer shell is polished "chrome" plastic with no rubber grips or bumpers-The plastic case nicks easily, but hell, maybe that'll make it more grippy...?-retraction is slow. I've found that holding the case with the tape slot face-down helps to speed it up a little.*Soapbox: Us Americans seem reluctant to give up measuring with Inch and Foot increments and to adopt the Metric system. To most, myself included, anything... meter-y is a mystery and vaguely unpatriotic. Where Metric math is very straightforward, the Meter (approximately one pace), visualized, is ironically unwieldy; it's hard to visualize. A foot, on the other hand, is an intuitive unit of measurement. Every grown adult knows about how big a foot is. Need to roughly measure a distance? Heel-Toe is often good enough. Yet doing anything involving the fractions of a foot can stymie just about anyone (excepting seasoned Carpenters and old Surveyors). What the hell is a 1/16th? How many are in 5/8's? What is the total of the two?What if Metric's easy calculability could use the human-scale Imperial foot as it's defining primary measurement unit?Enter the Decimal Foot or Engineers Scale. It uses the same foot-length but the foot is divided into ten segments or Tenths. Each tenth is divided by ten to create Hundredths and a hundredth is divided by ten to form Thousands. The math becomes extremely simple, yet still accurateHere's an example:5 3/4" or 0.48+ 8 1/2" =? + 0.71 =?The answer is the same:(14 1/4" or 1' 2 1/4" or 1.19')I'll bet you were better able to solve the second one in your head and there in lies the beauty. It requires only basic math skills without converting or reducing fractions and decreases the likelihood of error. How many hundredths are in 1.19 feet? 119. How many 1/8ths are in 1 foot 2 1/4 inches? I'll have to get back to you on that one... 🤔

Works perfectly. Easy to read tape. Pulls out easily. Retracts easily. Great value as a replacement for my 25 year old Stanley.

great
