Crescent Lufkin 1/2" x 30m/100' Hi-Viz Orange Fiberglass SAE/Metric Dual Sided Tape Measure - FM030CME

Nice tape measure. Quality.

I have used it for construction of car ports and measuring for fences. It is a good tape but could use improvement how it winds back up. If you roll it back up without paying attention, it can go right up against the sides and create friction. It's better to roll it up while holding it tilted slightly to one side and then it only touches one side when it is spooled up.

Easy to use both out and rewinding. Like metric and inch marking readability.

Like everything about it. Use it my job daily.

Works great for the price

I used the Lufkin tape measure at work for many years. This purchase was for home use and the quality has been the same (only 2 months).

Bought this tape for my sister to measure her long jump run up. The clamp holds securely for to do this. This tape can be used to measure metres as well as feet and inches which is very good. It is very easy for her to use and it winds up very easily. A but big but durable.

Too narrow a tape for serious and continuous use - a month's worth of VA appraisal work in the best of weather and tape kinked/twisted at about 30' - only limitedly useful at best Went to an enclosed Milwaukee smaller/dirt guard/handy tote strap same length and very similar in price - three months in/similar conditions and zero issues - Done with Lufkin

This is a fine tape, decent quality, perfectly acceptable for the price, but it is an imperial tape, with metric on the back. When you hook the end to blockwork, timber, etc, metric is on the underside. Should have noted the other review that said the same thing. Disappointed.

Seems fine. Since i am using it outdoors a lot, id have preferred if the metal fittings were stainless steel
