Komelon 4912IM The Professional 12-Foot Inch/Metric Scale Power Tape, Yellow

Just got this tape measure, I am very satisfied with this. it is of decent weight and it feel solid, durable and well designed , despite being made of plastic. It works better than my old Stanley measure, the tape goes in and out smoothly and fast, without hesitation. I like the nylon coating on the tape, he numbers are well demarkated, easy to read and see, crisp printing, and it has a solid feel. it locks and unlocks smoothly and the edges have ridges for a nice grip.

works great no issues would buy again

I needed a reliable and affordable tape measure for my part-time job, and the Komelon 4912IM has been a great choice! It’s compact enough to fit nicely in my pocket, making it easy to carry around. The 12-foot length is perfect for most of my tasks, and the dual inch/metric scale is really convenient. The tape is durable and the lock mechanism works smoothly. It’s tough enough to handle daily use, and the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a practical and budget-friendly tape measure!

I've had this tape for 8 months now. It is holding good, with expected wear for an EDC. It will hold for 4-6 months more probably. I live in Costa Rica, so I need a hybrid tape measure, with both imperial and metric readings. Both systems are commonly used here. This size is perfect for me as I work a lot with wood. 10 footers are a little small as many boards come in 12ft. 15 footers are too bulky for an EDC. This is a very good size, it holds good on the hand, it has a spring kicker plate to avoid damaging the clip when retracting fast, and the most important, the measurements show the full inch and cm number: i.e. it doesn't show 1, 2, 3 after every foot or every 10 cm, it show the full inch and cm number all the way to 144" and 350cm. This is a must for me as it avoid silly reading mistakes. The accuracy is about standard. It has a half millimeter error when reading from the tip. The inside and outside measurements do match, so the tip play is calibrated. The nylon coating is average. Do oil it from time to time if you use this and wet environments. Overall, a good EDC tape. My go to for now. Cheap to replace also.

Fantastic, simple, ergonomic and well priced. Love the metric as well as imperial labels on same tape.

Terrific and very visible small tape for both metric and imperial measurements. So handy.

Good price as I buy several power tapes (usually Craftsman brand) for different purposes & convenience!

A durable and great product. 12 years later I still have the product. The lock feature is a must and the length is great for any size project. Easy to store in a drawer.

I've used many a tape measure in my time. Learning to appreciate the smaller ones like this 12-foot specimen. Does 90% of what I need and it's light as a feather. The coating on the metal tape makes for smooth action and the case is nicely put together. It has a good quality feel. I bought one for the office and then bought another for home once I found out how nice it was. A bargain.

This came from amazon.com and it was shipped to the UK and therefore I thought I thought it was American made. I clearly didn't look closely enough because if I'd known it was made in China then I never would have bought it!

Pretty good quality and not very wide which was my requirement. Imperial and metric. One of the better ones I've had.

Tiene la numeración continua, para mí es una gran ventaja contar con una cinta métrica así, disminuye los errores de apreciación.

This tape is very light, so it doesn't feel like it weighs me down. The tape breaks a little under 5 feet, so one can extend it about 4 feet and maintain its rigidity. I'm a commercial electrician, and most of the stuff I do is either less than 4 feet or it's measured on the ground, so this isn't much of a problem. I still have a 25 foot Klein tape for the times when this tape won't work, but this cheap Komelon is what I use 99% of the time. I wish the tape was double sided, but that might be too much to ask from a tape that cost less than $5.
