Home Hand Tools Measuring & Layout Tapes

Me encantó fácil y rápida medición

Solid, mechanically sound, and my aging eyes love the fractions and decimals on the tape. Have used it on a number of projects with no complaints.

Awesome tape measure!!

It’s exactly what I was looking for. Not to big not to small. Perfect size.

This (orange case, in the pics) is the second Crescent Lufkin tape measure I've purchased. I already had the 25-foot tape (blue one, in the photos) and wanted a slightly smaller one to fit my hands better. (Note that the listed dimensions are wrong - they SHOULD read: 3" wide x 2.5" H x 1.5 D" (excluding the clip) - and NOT: "3.6 x 1.4 x 6.1 inches".) The bright color is great and of course the vertical, highly visible markings are why I wanted this particular model. So much easier to read from any angle - whether I hold the tape on the left or the right, the numbers are never more than 90deg from upright, and the font is quite legible even without my glasses. My main quibble is the horrible blister packaging - it was so difficult to remove, it took me ~15 minutes and three different tools (scissors, Swiss knife, pliers) to remove it from the plastic. It was so hard to maneuver the scissors around the package that they scratched the metal clip. This is only cosmetic of course but if it is this hard to remove the packaging for someone with normal dexterity, I can't imagine someone of my parents' generation doing so without injury. It's not only burly contractors who use tape measures. I use them to see if furniture will fit, to size up a closet for shelving, to cut carpet pads to the right length and so on. Inclusivity is beautiful and expands your potential customer base! Please reconsider the type of packaging - perhaps even swap out the hard plastic for something biodegradable. ETA: The 16' (orange) tape has a softer recall than the 25' model - much better for sparing your fingers.
