Product Description

Back in 1999 Komelon came out with the Gripper and its design was revolutionary. We took this design one step further and added our Speed mark fractional graduations to the blade. The 16-feet Gripper speed mark has an easy grip, thick rubber jacket surrounding its ergonomic compact case. The blade on the Gripper speed mark is acrylic coated and has fractional graduations printed on the blade making it quick and easy to read. When you reach in your tool belt for a tape measure, make sure you feel the Gripper speed mark because everything else is substandard.

The best tape measure I've owned
Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!I love this Komelon Gripper Speed-Mark tape measure. My old thin/cheap one that I used upstairs finally pushed me to the brink to the point where I wanted a new one. I have a Craftsman that I use as well but that is in the 'shop.' If you're using a cheap tape measure, you know the dance of trying to get the tape to stay extended with our bending because of the cheap gauge of metal used in the tape. Not so with this Komelon. It's extremely sturdy. In fact, while holding the tape measure I can extend it almost 8' unsupported before it 'breaks.' Pretty incredible.Additionally, the gray tape is very easy to read and I love the measurements being listed in 1/8 increments with unlisted 1/16 marks as well. The roller mechanism is smooth and the locking mechanism sturdy and secure.A tape measure is one of those things easy to skimp on early in life when you don't understand the difference quality makes. And then when you upgrade, you'll never go back. This is the case with this Komelon and it's an easy repurchase if I need another one. I've even considered replacing my trusty Craftsman.

Don't be fooled by the inexpensive price, this is a great measuring tape. The locking mechanism works perfectly and tape has sufficient delineations between the inches to measure incredibly accurately. Plus, it is sturdy and well-built. This measuring tape will last. Put it in your kitchen drawer or tool box. It is a great tool to have around the house. Overall, a great buy!

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020
Size: 16 FTStyle: TapeVerified Purchase
This tape measure has labels at every 1/8" interval. This makes it a good choice for folks who don't have a lot of experience reading a tape measure.

But if you're a carpenter, or if you can just look at a ruler and automatically know what the marks mean, this tape measure is just annoying. That's because the labels take up so much room that it's hard to see the actual markings. Thus it may actually slow you down. It just depends on how much help you need decoding the markings.

In other news, the lock works well. That's the main reason why my tape measures fail. I have a Stanley, a Milwaukee, and a no-name in my tool bag right now, and all three have locks that can't hold the tape in place without slipping. This $6 tape measure can do that, so it's currently the best the four.

Good visibility of dimensions. But the tape is a soft alloy. It collapses over a long distance. But in principle it is enough for home projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only use inches, get a few of these whilst the price is low!
Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2022
Size: 25 FTStyle: TapeVerified Purchase
I hate measuring in inches, but this tape measure certainly makes it a more pleasurable experience. It's lovely to read, and it's well built and sturdy.

The cons - Which aren't REALLY cons, just features some people may miss:

. It's only single sided.
. It doesn't have metric.

As I said, not really cons though - Double sided printing would up the price by a lot, and adding metric would make it a lot less readable, and this is the primary feature of this measure.

I'll use my double sided Klein measure for metric measurements, and this for Imperial.

So in all, if you can still get this for around sixteen bucks, buy a load of them and consider it a great deal! Talking of which, I should get another for the car.

Hopefully, you find this review helpful.
