Spec Ops Tools Tape Measure for Measuring & Layout, 1 1/8" Double-Sided Blade and Military-Grade Composite Case, 16 Foot

Just received today. Quality seems to be fine. Wish they were manufactured in the US. If that were the case I am due the price would have been much higher. I normally buy Kobalt from Lowe’s but decided to give these a try. Like the Kobalt, they fit the hand perfectly. I actually like the Spec Ops 25’ feel better than the Kobalt. Seems heavy duty enough and love the back side measurements on the blade. I will pst an update in the future.

Super strong. As good as a FatMax at half the price

Great tape measure. Love the increments. Holding up well. Just wish it had a magnet.

Tapes come back quick upon retraction so watch your fingers locking mechanism for tape seems to have two notches one notch as a pressure to hold the tape second notch to lock tape from coming back numbers are good size hash marks are easy to read on the 16-ft tape it does have marks for 16th and eighths pre-marked out overall so far I've used them for a week no complaints. I use these tapes as a fitter for structural steel fabrication.

It is the perfect size for my jib with steel Girders in I beams, it is very tuff in that when dropped it works just fine. Perfect size for the hand, and easy to read.

I have been using a dewalt 35ft tape measure, but I need something smaller and less bulky. So far I really like this tape measure for a few key reasons. Standout is great, I was able to get about 10ft. The locking mechanism also works very well . The tape is very easy to read and the measurements are printed on both sides of the tape. It also moves in and out very smoothly. Hopefully I don’t lose this one, but if I do I’ll buy it again. The only issue was the belt clip was bent while removing the tape measure from the packaging. I was able to remove it and bend it back into shape. Would be nice if it was a bit sturdier. Overall this is great value for money

Great tape , extends 9 feet without buckling

I’m a vet that recently just finished My 12 years of Army and now getting into construction and carpentry as my second skill and I came across Spec-Ops and saw their tools. Being a vet and seeing a company that is owned and operated by vets and donates to a cause that helps our military and first responders I decided that I would buy most of the hand tools from Spec Ops instead of the big name brand companies. So far I am happy with all of Spec Ops tools, they withstand the durability of my work requirements and just something about it being tactical just makes it that much more appealing to me. But recently I’ve had my first “oops” when I was installing siding about 15 feet off the ground on a scaffolding and my measuring tape fell and fell in a rapid spinning motion, as I watched my measuring tape fall and hit the ground I saw a piece break off. I didn’t have the measuring tape more than a month, I go and inspect it and the plastic piece that prevents the lip of the tape measure from going all the way inside broke off and I think also tho curved part that hooks on things also bent inwards a little. The measuring tape is still doing its job to measure but I think now it’s about an 8th off and gets stuck inside the measuring tape so I put it to the side for now till I figure out how to fix it. I did just order another 25 Foot and a 16 foot with the 96 foot and 24 foot level. Fingers crossed it comes more durable than the last. Before it fell, it was an amazing product and my co workers were jealous of me of seeing how well it was made and felt in operations. My recommendation is use a metal piece instead of a plastic piece or use a metal piece that is tuff box material coated so it can withstand the constant durability effectiveness of the measuring tape. Overall great work but it did not pass the 15 Foot drop. S

Excellent quality,Would recommend to any handyman

One inch wide scale. One sixteenth inch minimum interval. Scale on both sides. Counts up in inches. Foot intervals labelled in feet, above one foot there are secondary markings showing how many inches you are into the new foot (not feet and inches). Multiples of sixteen inches are highlighted to keep the binary theme going, maybe useful for plasterboard studs. Only fully imperial (or US) modern tape measure have seen in the U.K. Useful for carpentry etc where raw materials from hardware shop are in millimetres but work out to round number of feet or inch fractions. Ideal companion to a millimetre only tape if you want to keep systems separate, ensure readability and be able to read same system both sides. Now U.K. is more exposed to non-EU suppliers imperial / US measured items seem more prevalent, so this tape measure is a handy tool for dealing with all that.

Wow,, awesome tape

Le texte de l'annonce est mensonger, il n'y aucun centimètre ou mètre indiqué sur ce ruban, il est donc probable qu'il ne vous serve à rien ! Dommage car il semble très costaud ...

Está bien el diseño y los números se ven bien pero no viene en sistema inglés.
