SS125 Gripper 25-Foot Stainless Steel Measuring Tape , Blue

Have used these before. Good product

I bought this tape measure for my husband as a Christmas present and he loves it. Very strong and durable. Our 6 year son(who's destructive by nature) grabbed it before we could stop him and pulled it out/retracted it several times and bounced it and tried to bend it and it didn't break and held up to this torture (which is more than I can say for most things he touches). Very good quality and worth the price.

I purchased these tapes for tile work. I have 25footers that have lasted over a year. The numbers are finally starting to wear off. These are the best tapes I have found for use with a wet saw.

I love that even in the rain this tape doesn't rust like my old Stanley did. The numbers are simple to read down to the 1/16" marks. I prefer the grey tape background as on a bright sunny day the matte finish doesn't reflect and blind you. I love that it is marked on the bottom side of the tape, in a year I think I used that option twice though, so it's really not a game changer...just nice to know it's there when it does make it easier. New it's the smoothest tape I've felt. So why only 4 stars? The last 12" of the tape wore out a little quicker than expected, still easy to read, but when hooking it to a piece of lumber and getting out to about 4' the hook flips up and releases from the edge of the board. The last 12" is the only part that doesn't work as smoothly as new since the tape itself is slightly rough. When new it didn't do this, the hook was perfect and moves as you'd expect...it just wore out. It lasted long enough and I liked it enough that for the price I ordered a new one to replace it!

This tape is a beast. I work in bodies of water or rivers. I have dropped this thing in water, muck, sand and it just needs a clean and it keeps going. Other tapes usually sieze after contact with mud. Truly a beast

Purchased 2 different ones from the same manufacturer. Sad to say I was happy at first as it is a tape measure for 20 bucks. But when I relied the tape in the end snapped and bent as you can see in the photos. The accuracy is good as it should right! But the retraction, while fast and good tension can cause the last 10 inches or so to bend.

After using this tape for 6 months of regular home use, I love it. The action is smooth, the lock works well, and corrosion has not been an issue at all. There is no reason to buy the new low-quality Stanley tapes when this one is available. FOLLOW UP 10/1/2010 I've been using this tag regularly with no problems. I'm about to purchase another one so I have a spare in case the primary one gets lost. This is the best tape measure I've ever owned. FOLLOW UP 11/1/2015 After years of use this is still holding up, even with a few drops. The second one I purchased is also holding up well. Still the best tape measure I've ever used/owned.

I am very pleased to write about this one. So often you don't know what to expect and usually get the chinese junk that is built cheep-cheep. This tape measure is solidly built. It has a sturdy stop. The tape itself is much more rigid than any Stanley I've purchased lately, a very nice feature when you're trying to measure by one's self. And the most striking and handy feature that I've never seen before that has already sold me on this, the tape has the measurement printed on both sides! No need for twisting when you're looking at the back side of the object you're measuring. The extra 5 feet over the commonly available tapes is also a plus. (To be honest, I haven't found where it was manufactured on it anywhere, but it is a quality product) I recommend this to anyone, for themselves or as a gift. Especially since it's unique.

Muy mala descripción, lo anuncian como cinta métrica ( debe ser en cm, mm, m) y viene en pulgadas, es un fraude su venta, así lo anuncian "KOMELON ss116ss Pinza 16-foot Acero Inoxidable Cinta métrica (embalaje puede variar)" y no existe ninguna descripción de que viene 100% en pulgadas y sus fracciones, mal muy mal un gustito que me salio muy caro

Great tape, my last one is 6+years old and still goin! Tried the newer round body style but it kinked 4 inches from the end so its pretty much useless. The quality seems a little higher on the older squarish body so this was my impulsive replacement. All metal components are stainless so u can literally rinse it out in the sink and nothing will rust. Great tool.

Very nice large numbers well made

A little bulkier than some, but this is greatly overshadowed by the high build quality and top-shelf materials and design. This is a very smooth and reliable tape measure that does its work without fanfare. My first one had a problem, the tape got stuck occasionally at the 6" mark, and the replacement was delivered the very next day. The replacement is excellent, and I have another Kamelon tape against which to compare it. Overall, extremely pleased with this purchase and the fast, efficient customer service.
