It's difficult to find a measuring tape that has both metric and imperial. Measurement tolerance and accuracy was on par with my Milwaukee. While the housing is definitely plastic and not as durable, it's also a fraction of the price. Considering that my Milwaukee sometimes goes walking, it's nice to have a backup that I can rely on.

For most measuring jobs, from basic home repairs to larger building projects, this 25-foot tape measure has enough reach. For endurance and reliable performance, the tape is composed of a premium, long-lasting substance that is resistant to breaking and bending. For solo measures, the tape's remarkable length is its most notable attribute. It can extend and stay stiff without bending across a sizable distance.

Selected this power tape measure for the frequent projects at our ranch. The case is durable and the bright orange color makes it easy to locate. The case also has an area to mark with your name. The wide tape has large and detailed markings and a high visibility finish. The tape can extend a long distance without collapsing and the tape end has a nail slot and tether hole making it the perfect tape when you are working alone. The tape extends and retracts smoothly and quickly. The locking functions as it should and is perfectly located for one handed use. Combine all these features with a limited lifetime warranty and a great price point and you have an excellent tape measure that insures projects progress quickly and accurately.
