"It's a nice tape measure for general measurements and really for a great price but problems I encountered follows. Firstly the whole body is designed with a nice curved ergonomic shape but that creates an irritating issue when working alone due to the bottom that is curved the tape keeps falling over if placed down. Although it fits the hand very nicely especially when trying to lock the tape a magnet or two on the locking lip would come in handy. Another problem is when its pulled to the maximum it lowered the tension in the spring creating a less tension-ed tape when fully rolled up and finally over time movement on the locking lip gets worn out and breaks off when tension pulls the tape into the body but still it's a brilliant needed tool for a great price and it definitely fulfill its purpose most tape measures have the same flaws"
