Crescent Lufkin 13mm x 50m Hi-Viz Orange Fiberglass Tape Measure - FM050CM,orange/black

Picked a "used, like new" one of these for a building project and have not been disappointed. It's simple, sturdy, and just plain works. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but if you're on a budget, this will do the trick. I've not treated it very nicely - it's been tossed unceremoniously in the back of the truck and on the ground and it doesn't seem to be getting full of dirt.Only major con: If you unroll the tape too fast with the reel handle flipped up (so it doesn't smack your hands), the handle can flip back out and bloody your knuckles. So don't jog too fast when measuring. The hinge point ought to be perfectly centered on the reel to avoid outward force when rotating, but it's slightly offset.You might think being marked on a single side is a con, but the blank side makes it easier to determine when the tape is twisted.

This is perfect for measuring and marking the borders around my house/property.Very smooth wind up motion, has a quality feel to it at a reasonable price!Shipping was fast and hassle free.Just what I neededThanks 👍

This is a good quality tape line for measuring large places... like the width of my lawn.

I use a long tape for one of my hobbys. I had a long steel roll up tape that was in chrome square disc looking thing and I could never find it. Half the size of this thing but that was the problem I guess. Lost it. This thing is huge and ORANGE. Can't miss it. No brainer at twenty bucks. Has alligator thingy on the end for grabbing on to stuff like wooden boards, etc. First use I found some pipes in the ground that were supposed to be a 75' from a concrete pad. The pipes were covered up with several inches of dirt and leaves and what not. Found them no problem. Already paid for itself as far as I am concerned.

Great while it lasted! Excellent durability and light weight. However, I dropped it while trying to clip it back to my harness at 180'. RIP 😭

Excelente producto y muy cumplida la entrega, recomiendo la compra del producto por Amazon.

We bought this to measure a property we are purchasing. We wanted to measure distances upwards of 200 feet. It is great, it worked really well. It was easy to unravel, could easily go over hills and tree branches, water, etc. and also was easy to wind back up. It was exactly what we needed for uneven terrain.

I needed a long flexible reel style tape measure and was pleased to find one with a brand name that I knew and respected. The lettering could be a bit more contrasty as the numbers are a close tint to the shade of the body of the tape, light red over yellow. Just saying the reason for the 4 and not 5 stars is only this visibility thing and maybe just because my eyes are weird.
