LufkinCrescent 1-3/16 x 25' Command Control Series Black Clad Tape Measure - L1025CB

Hate the fact its in imperial rather then metric prefer meters and centimetres as thats what ive grew up on not feet and inches, other then that absolutely fantastic tape measure easy to read in all lights looks different and latches to what you need it to when you need it to.

I thought this would be a lot brighter but is wasn't so I would not recommend this as the normal tape measure is just as good if not better.

Like the quality of actual tape but the thing already broke and won't retract the tape

Pros: easy to readGreat standoutPrice is rightNot bulky for having a 1 3/16” bladeFeels about 2/3 of the weight of an average fat-max.ConsThe all black housing can be hard to find if you put it down In a dark work place.No option for magnetsOverall, my favourite new tape measure. Coming from Milwaukee and Stanley, won’t go back unless I have to.

Order and used lufkin all this time. Does not last too long but it's good to use. Feel it's worth since I use it everyday.

This is real good tape nice and easy to read

Perfect tape measure for USA with inch measurements on BOTH sides. It's bright, clear, accurate, and has large uncluttered markings. And it's not some funky shape with a bizarre distance from where the tape enters the case and, say, a wall behind the case. It is EXACTLY 3-1/4 ". No running the tape up the wall and guessing. Just pull the case up to the wall and add 3-1/4. The hook is deeper than most AND rises up above the tape too. This is great for pressing it against a wall as the design of the hook usually stops it from sliding through a gap between the bottom of a wall board and the floor.This tape has only two down sides you should know. First it's a bit bulky. Second, the hook is too tall and/or the tape too wide to fit through some tight places. Every once in a while I have to get out my old narrow wimpy tape with inferior markings when I need to get the hook into a tight place.
