Klein Tools 9216 Tape Measure, Heavy-Duty Measuring Tape with 16-Foot Double-Hook Double-Sided Nylon Reinforced Blade, with Metal Belt Clip

I was so impressed with the 25' version of this that I decided to purchase this one as well and I'm just as happy with it. Usually shorter tapes have narrower blades but not this one. The blade is just as wide as my 25' model, just in a smaller package. This makes it easy to handle/grip and use, easy to read, and the standout is excellent. The Orange color really stands out at work and looks good as well. It locks just like most other tapes but has a "brake" on the bottom where you can hold down a button/lever to keep the tape temporarily locked. The quality is top notch and I expect it'll last a good long time.

It is an excellent product and met all my expectations in terms of the quality of the material and the article in general.

I decided to try the Klein '25 magnetic tape measure to replace my Milwaukee '25 magnetic tape measure. The Milwaukee was still working, but was very flimsy and quite frustrating. The Klein is far superior. Wider, stiffer, simply better all around. Also cheaper. I'll buy again.

I got this once when I realized the tape I was using didn’t have good reach for what I needed. The magnetic end is strong. It’s probably my favorite part of the tool. The reach is good and it’s good quality. I had my first one for over a year. My replacement broke after a month or so, but that was my fault, not the fault of the tool. It’s cheap enough that it won’t break the bank to replace it, and you don’t have to replace it often. It’s got an easy to read guide on the back

Bought this twice, one time it ripped, don’t know if it was user error or just been over used.

The best tape measure for construction workers. Perfect for an electrician because it has conduit bending formulas on back side. The hook end is perfect for hard toreach places and has 12’ standout. Overall the best I’ve ever bought I’m on my 3rd

I'm an electrician by trade and have been in the construction industry for 14 years so needless to say, I've used a ton of tape measures. As a tool I use on a daily basis my tape measure is very important. After using Stanley, Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Kobalt tape measures early in my career I finally settled on Milwaukee and considered it the best out there... until I bought this Klein. I used Milwaukee tape measures for years but recently decided to try this Klein since it was a.new product. Electricians trust Klein for all other hand tools and I have to say I was not disappointed by their new line of tape measures. This is the BEST tape measure out there, YES even better than Milwaukee. Easy to read numbers, fast recoil, and rigid tape for extending over long distance. I even love the shape of the hook on the end and extra string magnet. I'm dead serious that Klein's new tape measures beat Milwaukee, Fat Max, and everything else I've used. Get this and see for yourself.

I’m in construction and a tape measure is probably my most used tool. I’ve tried many different brands, and by far this is the best. My major complaint with most tape measures is they don’t retract. There’s nothing more frustrating (and time consuming) than having to hand feed the tape back into the housing. I don’t have this problem with this tape measure. Of course they do wear out eventually, but I get a lot more life from this brand. And I’ve purchased at least 4 in the last few years and will probably continue to use this brand.
