KesonSNR18100 Nylon-Reinforced Steel Blade Tape Measure, Stainless Steel Housing with Hook End (Graduations: ft., in., 1/8), 100-Foot

Good quality tape measure, solid easy to use, recommended.

Very nice tool. Well built and designed.

I sought to buy a steel tape because fiberglass tapes stretch. Because this tape is 3/8" wide I wondered if it was just a 300 foot tape made like other 3/8" wide tapes that are 100 feet long. So I did more research on several long tapes that were over 200 feet and found many that were divided into .01 feet increments, but very few that were divided into feet, inches, and 1/8 inches. I phoned three companies to ask about some particular tapes they sold. I wanted a steel tape that was narrow and thick so the wind would not catch it and it would stretch less than a fiberglass tape when pulled under tension. There were some tapes that were narrower and wider, but none were thicker. When I phoned the company the person I spoke with said the tape cross-section was 3/8" x .023". When I received the tape the first thing I did was to measure the thickness and found the person to be correct. It is an excellent tape in a stainless steel reel.

Durable, metal parts that won't break as easy as the less expensive tapes with plastic handles and the 1' from the end of the tape to 0' is nice for "burning a foot" without having to "add" a foot to my measurement.

Very good tape for the value

I used it in a 200ft x63ft foundation for a building to square it off

I like the measuring tape as it is durable and the best I have found. The metal reel makes the unit a little heavy. The reel also does not have enough clearance for spooling a muddy tape without some cleaning as you reel it in. This is a five star tape in a three star reel when used in the mud.

I have a fiberglass tape too, but those stretch a bit. I wanted something a bit more reliably accurate for a very large deck structure. (44 x 42' ) This was the ticket.

A+++

I cant used this tape id like a refun

No metric on this. Not like the video.
