Dewalt Atomic Compact Series 25' Tape Measure

It's been a while since I needed a new tape measure and I love the way they have put commonly used fractions on metal tape portion, this makes it easy to read and compute your measurements. The tape measure is sturdy, easy to read and feels great in the hand. It is very nice to be able to use one finger to place on the bottom and hold the exposed tape in place when doing your marking. I have not had a tape measure have that feature and it's not something I would have thought about doing or putting into a design but I do like the way it works. The only negative I have to say about this product is that it is not as easy to place the clip on what you are measuring and it hold while pulling the tape out for a measurement. I have noticed I have to pull the tape out a little manually so the clip will grab the wood before pulling it out for a measurement, the clip could be a little bigger to go past the end and grab better. Maybe it's just the way I use the tape measure but that would be my only complaint. Good solid product though.

Realmente muy bueno, de materiales muy bien excelente calidad el graduado en fracciones facilita más la lectura de medidas

Sehr gute Qualität und robust

Hard to go back to a regular 1" wide tape measure after using this one. The wider tape makes it much easier to measure long distances solo without the tape collapsing.

For decades I have stuck with some of the cheapest (albeit branded) tape measures on the market. When I misplaced my last one on an Ikea shopping trip, I took it as a sign to upgrade. This is far from the fanciest one out there but it feels like a huge step up in build quality and functionality. The blade is much sturdier and the thumb lock actually, well, locks. The finger brake is a cool feature. I wish I got this years ago instead of cheaping out for so long.
