Komelon 433IEHV High-Visibility Professional Tape Measure both Inch and Engineer Scale Printed 33-feet by 1-Inch, Chrome

This was a purchase/order for my brother, who works with a lot of measurements and urgently needed a quality tape measure. He gives it 5 stars and is delighted! For him, it has been an excellent investment and a great replacement for a previous, lower-quality tape he bought at a local store. My brother is using it for daily work that requires constant measuring (it's an essential tool for his job), and it has helped him immensely. What he highlights most is the mechanism and reliability: The tape remains very firm when extended, which is crucial for taking long measurements without it bending. Furthermore, the functionality is very smooth: it's easy to pull out and retract quickly without getting stuck, speeding up his work. The locking mechanism works perfectly and holds the measurement steady. He has a feeling he will be using it very frequently and that it will last him much longer than the previous one. If you work with measurements constantly and need a reliable tool that can withstand daily use, this Komelon tape measure is highly recommended.

Good Measured tape.

very suitaqble for Archtecture, construction, engineering, or surveying. No complaints, Useful in all the usual applications

Good measuring tape. Especially if you work in grading. The “10th’s” on the tape are a must in that field.

Have had this about a month or so Pros: +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 tape Cons: -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 accurate Here'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... 🤔

Love the standard foot and inch and decimal foot split when measuring. Looks like it has a decent construction

Very durable, easy to use, not too heavy, and the lock feature works well.
