Durable tape measure with a good cause
The Spec Ops Tools 25-foot tape measure is solid and feels military-grade. The 1" double-sided blade is easy to read, and the composite case is tough yet lightweight. The 25-foot length covers most jobs, and I like that 3% of proceeds go to veterans. A reliable and well-built tool for both professional and DIY use.

Good deal and easy to use
Smooth operation and easy to use. Haven't dropped one yet so can't say how durable they are, but they appear to be on par with any other good quality tape measures

Love the tape, but not the casing....
Ive been using these tapes now for the better part of 6minths and even after many drops they still operate like the day I got em. I find these tapes really durable and easy to read - the tape itself is highly visible and readable even inow light conditions, which I love. The casing is very durable - I've dropped the tape from as high as 16ft onto concrete several times (by accident) and there's been no issues with the casing cracking or the tape failing to retract. My only beef with this tape measure is that the dark colored casings certainly do not stand out in my toolbox or around the shop when I'm looking for it..they're impractically camouflaged. I keep one in the door of my truck and it just blends into the black trim. I have neuropathy so I even struggle locating it in the tool bag on my hip sometimes if lighting in the workspace isn't perfect. Hoping they do something about this because the tape is one of the best I've found in durability and readability, have already lasted way beyond brand names I've used like DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc. for as visible as the tape is, the casing should also get the same attention with a a more visible color scheme.

Much better than FatMax, Milwaukee, etc.
I have used every brand tape measure daily over the past 10+ years doing new construction. Most of the brands seemed to have good years and eventually decline into a cheaper quality, but still a $25 price tag. After using Fatmax for years and eventually switching to mostly Milwaukee, I finally got tired of throwing my money away and decided to try a tape that wasn't a big brand. The pros: I have used this tape daily foe 10 months now. The tape itself has not cracked or twisted unlike most other tapes around. The hook is large all around, but not too large where it can get in the way. A magnetic variety may be a good addition. I have dropped this tape uncountable times and even from several stories up. It continues to operate like new. The cons: The coating on the tape itself wears considerably. Especially on the bottom side. This makes it illegible. The coating still lasts longer than most brands though. My biggest complaint is the belt clip. My tape measure is on and off of my belt clip of my pouches many, many, many times a day. The phillips screw holding the clip to the tape measure holds up fine. The clip holds up fine. However, there is a small plastic lug molded into the body of the tape measure that is supposed to keep the clip in place. This plastic lug is the weakest part of the entire assembly. Within no time, the clip spins freely on the body. Overall, the tape measure is the best one I have found for daily construction use and abuse. The belt clip design is definitely frustrating, but I will live with that for the overall quality.

Flimsy tape
Outside appears durable and I like the two sided numbering but it’s super flimsy. I purchased because i dropped my other in the mud and no longer retracts. This one only goes out about three feet before collapsing. My old one was not expensive and could go out 8 feet or more.

This tape is awesome. I am a flooring installer and I use this tape all day everyday. I have owned many different tapes, all the big brands, and this one by far is the best. I've had it for over 6 months now and still works great, retracts fine, is not vent, it's very durable. I usually go through tapes every couple of months but this is still going strong

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.
