Komelon 7125IE; 25' x 1" Magnetic MagGrip Pro Tape Measure with Inch/Engineer Scale, Yellow/Black

Komelon 712 engineering tape measure. Use it almost every day at work. Easy to read, tough and well made. I will buy some more as presents. Two thumbs up. Update- I bought more to give away as safety rewards.

Good

As I have noted before, the inches and tenths pairing is a perfect combo. This particular tape is improved by the magnetic foot and the side wings on the foot that hook on the edge. Great for measuring corner to corner when welding up steel squares. The magnetic foot is Invaluable for laying out mounting hardware on the ceiling of a walk-in cooler box. Allows one handed measurement from adjoining walls.These are a compact tape, which I appreciate, as bulkier units tend to come off my belt while I work. The trade off is they are not overly beefy in the "stand out" feature. But I haven't had need of anything better in my work.Again, calling out feet and tenths instead of fractions has expanded the number of guys I can trust to get the cut right. This concept has had a benificial impact on my projects.I like the out door drop resistant plastic units but wish they came longer than 25 feet. I also keep one of the chrome 33 foot units on hand for the longer occasions.

I use to buy them at home depot brand name husky,this is the same one, if u work outside and in wet condition, these tape are good when mud get in contacte with the blade they don’t get stuck like some others good brand tape,i been using these for over a decade and i’am happy to be able to get them again, u need to try it once then u won’t be able te work without it, by the way i am a concrete worker tape drag on the ground all the time a beleive me this is the best i had so far .

Yes, I'm an idiot for accidentally purchasing a tape measuring with engineering units on one side, which makes this tape measure quite difficult to use in an American woodshop where everything is in ft/in and cm/mm.Beyond that little hiccup on my part, this is easily the nicest tape measure I've personally owned.The tape glides smoothly, is very strong over distances, and the magnetic end is the perfect touch for added usability. The casing is also very sturdy and the whole thing feels solid in the hand. Can't really go wrong here.It's definitely rugged and high-quality as well, so there's no fear to be had for how much abuse it can take.
