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

I needed a tape with 10's and inches on it and this delivered, smooth, and realistically it feels fine. The chromed plastic feel is not the best for longevity i'd imagine but overall it works well, especially for $21. The chromed plastic does not feel like a really cheap tape measure though so build quality is a pass.

A great tape measure for the money. I've yet to drop it off a roof so I can't speak on the durability too much but it seems very well made and I have zero complaints. It is not too heavy not too big, but long enough for most measurements. I saw a smaller version from the same company at Menards a few months later and bought it without hesitation. They are both great.

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 quality, fast shipping

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... 🤔

Didn't know what to expect from this (Korean ?) tool, but it seems solid and smooth with a good locking mechanism. Really like having both the standard imperial scale (feet and inches and 1/16" and 3/8" and so on) and the engineer's scale which measures feet and tenths of a foot (for example, 7.35 feet) which is so much easier to use than the imperial scale when you need to do a some arithmetic. Try adding 4-3/8", 9-7/16", and 6-3/4". How easy is that compared to adding .36 feet, .79 feet, and .58 feet? Or better yet, trying dividing a 25'-7" porch railing into seven equal segments using the imperial scale. Go ahead. And now divide it using the engineer scale. That's 25.8' divided by 7 = 3.68 feet per section. Easy peasy. The imperial scale with an inch divided into 1/16" divisions is finer than the engineer scale with each 1/10 of a foot divided into 10 divisions, but if you want a finer measurement, you can simply measure go to the middle of a tenth of a tenth.

This is a good tape measure for the job site. Use it everyday when working with grading on the site.

Komelon makes good quality tapes and this is no different. I specifically wanted an inch AND tenths reading scale. Easy to read, very bright, decent standout. Buy with confidence.

Love it.These things are 'great at the job site and only nine bucks.Love the high viz..and..it's durable

Fantastic price for this tape!! Bargain 👍🏻

Good item!

If you work in the drilling industry you'll know it's one of the last bastions of the Imperial measurement system..... And you'll know that everything is measured in decimal feet! Weird eh! Now measuring in feet and inches and fractions of inches isn't hard. Nor is converting those measurements to decimal difficult. It does however add time and another opportunity for error into the mix. This removes that risk and speeds up the process. Decent quality, decent price. Good buy.
