Komelon EV2825 25' x 1" Self-Lock Evolution Tape Measure, 1-Pack

I was very impressed when I opened this tape measure. Honestly never heard of them. As long as the button for retrieval doesn’t break this is my new favourite tape measure. Feels sturdy, metal belt clip dual sided tape white/yellow, this is a sharp tape measure.

It has both metric and imperial. It also has dual side marking. The numbers are easy to read. The movement is smooth, and locking mechanism is working well. It is imported product and so quite costly. Hopefully it lasts lifetime if handled with care.

Three things stand out about this measuring tape: 1. It’s marked on both sides with 90 degree “catches” at 0” both top and bottom. This has come in handy in the first few days of use. 2. It’s 30’ long, not 25’. I’m siding sections of a house that are a bit over 26’ and what a pain it was with a 25’ tape. 3. The tape locks when you pull it out and coils back when you press the unlock button. So sensible!

This is a great little tape measure. If taking long measurements (4 to 5 metres or over) have to take care when rewinding though as the tape winder inside sounds like it might malfunction. But I love the fact that there is no need to lock the winder when you pull it out! It stays in position and the little catch at the end of the tape is a good size and actually stays on to whatever secure end you're measuring from!

Great tape measure with both US and metric markings. Smooth action and the automatic locking feature works great!
