TAJIMA Tape Measure - 16 ft x 1 inch GS-Lock Measuring Tape with Shock Resistant Case & Safety Clip Holder - GSSF-16BW

Really solid tape measure. The quality is really good and the readability is excellent. I am a fan of the clip system as it prevents the tape from falling off my belt. The tape is easy to read and does not feel easy to snap. Edges of the tape are smooth which may be due to the soft coating on it. Overall a great option for pros.

Best tape measure love it

Ive had milwaukee, dewalt, Stanley, literally all of them. This is would say is a step above the fatmax which is generally the top. Its very durable. Ive dropped this thing off of lifts and ladders and still works great. The belt clip was hard to get used to but once you do it's hard to not use it. Only complaint I have is that they should make some type of hook or clip option for when you forget your belt clip. Other then that a great tape measure. Will be buying more for sure.

I’ve been building cabinets for 16 years and have used and abused every tape measure out there. I’ve been using this one for about 3 months and there’s not even a kink in the blade edge yet. I cut a lot of molding and always bend and drop my tape. This one has held up very well. Only problem I have with this tape measure is you can’t hook and pull the tape with one hand. The rubber guard around the plastic case is thick and doesn’t allow the blade hook to hang down. You have to pull the tape out a few inches and then hook and pull. Minor.. but still annoying at times.

I traveled to Japan a few years ago and a friend introduced me to the Tajima tape measure holding clip. I immediately purchased this set as soon as I got home to the US. It has a very satisfying click when putting your tape measure back. Depressing the release becomes second nature. The best part is no more tape measure falling off my pants. You can also purchase a safety lanyard separately if you’re working from high areas and don’t want to drop it to the ground. The tape measure is well marked on both sides.

Exactly as described TY

Great tape, accurate easy to read belt clip is really nice addition as well

Been using Fat Max 30 years and thought I'd try another brand since they stopped making them in the USA and switched to Taiwan. Big nope from me the blade is flimsy and that's a deal breaker.

The best measuring tape I ever used

Lost the first one after 4 years of service. Bought another 👌

These are my favorite tape measures. They have great stand out reach for a cabinet shop sized tape. I find it easier to read the matt white tape and was suprised to find the numbers on the back came in handy already. I think the fancy clip will be good in the summer when it becomes to warm to wear my apron.

This is a very good but not great product. The tape clip is a great idea but I wear an apron most of the time and it doesn’t fit well in the tape pocket. Around the end of the blade there is excellent protection so it doesn’t get bent or damaged keeping your tape measuring accurately. The blade is really easy to read and very high quality, it could use a small slot so you can hook onto a nail easily. Overall I really like it but this is a 35$ tape and is not correctly priced and I would not purchase again

My husband and I are both contractors and Tajima tapes last the longest! They’re sturdy and worth the price if you find you burn through tapes quickly.
