Mr. Pen 25-Foot Steel Retractable Tape Measure with Easy Read Fractions

The media could not be loaded. I’m happy with this purchase. I was looking for the cheapest option when moving into a new apartment, and this one did not disappoint.It’s heavy and feels very sturdy. I like that there is a switch to lock the length. When retracting the tape, it moves quickly without whipping your fingers in the process.I’d buy this again in a heartbeat if I needed another!

This tape measure feels solid and well-constructed—definitely more durable than many I’ve used in the past. The tape glides out smoothly, has just the right amount of tension, and doesn’t feel flimsy or prone to bending. The locking mechanism works reliably and holds the tape firmly in place without slipping. It’s a dependable tool that’s clearly made to last. Great addition to the toolbox.

Very durable. It's been dropped on hard wood, gravel, asphalt and concrete and still works. The scratches and dents give it character it didn't have when I first received it. A good tape measure is a must for estate sales and thrifting. I just hope this one endures longer than my last four.

It is a pretty normal retractable tape measure. The quality seems to we good and durable enough. Be aware that is doesn’t have cm marks on it but instead just has fractions of inches.

I included two images. It works just find, numbers are large enough to read. The lock feature works very well, it is easy to use and it holds just fine. Retractability is fast and effortless. Even came with a mustache sticker. I honestly feel the value is really good.

Really sturdy tape measure

A great bargain. Works as good as a Craftsman, Stanley or Lufkin

Overall love this measuring tape, here are the pros and cons:PROS:-Super easy to read extra large numbers, great if you forgot your glasses!-Mechanism is smooth, glides easily, seems well madeCONS:-Only has inches, no centimeters. I miss being able to pull out the tape to see how big a certain amount of centimeters will be. In this world of the internet where we can buy things marketed only in centimeters, this means I first have to do the calculation (2.54 cm per inch) and then pull out the tape measure to see how that size looks (or use a diff tape measure that does have centimeters).-This is a large-in-the-hand tape measure with a solid weight to it. I have a mini tape measure that seems a bit handier when I’m on the go (but not nearly as easy to read). So if you flea market this will add some bulk and weight to your tote bag. On the other hand, it is super easy to read!Bottom Line: I wish they had put centimeters in smaller print along the bottom edge, but other than that this is a smoothly functioning super easy to read and use tape measure. I included a photo in this review so you can see how easy it is to read. I hope this review is useful to you :)
