16' Foot Quickdraw PRO Self Marking Tape Measure - 1st Measuring Tape with a Built in Pencil - Contractor Grade Steel Tape - 16 Foot Power Locking Tape Ruler

I purchased this for my dad as a gift. He is retired and is a pretty avid carpertor as a hobby. He is also an electrical engineer so he is big on number and measuring twice, cut once. He liked the idea but was not to sure about the marking. At first he would still go for his trusty pencil to make the wood. After a few days he said he got used to using the graphite marker in the tape measure and loved it. He used this when building a 20'x30' garage and said it really did help having one less step to take. Overall this product works. It does what it says and the mark is very accurate. I would recommend to anyone who uses wood. I can't say how it works on other materials but for wood it works great.

I saw a video of this product on a Facebook ad. I'm generally skeptical of these types of products, as they're usually not all they're cracked up to be. I was pleasantly surprised on this one. It is super handy and easy to use for projects. Particularly woodworking and drywall work. It's super easy to drag a straight line down a large sheet of material to make a long cut. Or pre-set the tape measure with a measurement and make your mark in hard to reach places. My only complaint is it's a little dainty. Definitely intended more for a hobbyist rather than a professional. The tape is narrowish, plastic construction is adequate but not super durable. Belt clip could be better. For $20 it's what I expected, and still a great product. I wish they would make a contractor grade one with a metal body and wider tape, but I'm just being not picky.

Because the marker part is not at the edge if the tape measure, it is not very easy to understand the actual distance. I just keep it a a spare when I can't find the digital one I use all the time.

This was bought as a Christmas present from the USA. It arrived before Christmas and I only went to use it recently. Unfortunately, I found the tape lock down (new rubber break lock) to be stiff and faulty. As a stroke victim, I only have the use of one arm and the "quick draw Pro" with the self-marking tape is ideal, but it's far too stiff for me to operate with one hand. I wanted to send it back or inquire about the break lock, but the costs of sending it back to the USA make it prohibited. The graphite marker works well ....if I have someone to hold the tape down.

Love the built in marker but if you drop the tape on the 'feed tube' for the graphite it will damage it. Started daily construction use Mar 12 and today June 14 it stopped retracting on it's own. BTW I go through a tape about 1-3 months.

Planning to buy more of these. Works great for measurement marks so you can then a straight line for accurate cuts. Came with a lead already installed and ready to go and extra spares. NOTE: the lead only marks when locked as the measurement lock engages the pencil. Overall: great tape measure easy to read for beginners and very accurate. Used for a measurement critical project and it worked great. Will buy more

I love the concept but when I tried it my results were not the same as the video. It didn't leave a clear line - instead it left an extremely light imprint of the little knurled wheel. Loading was not quite right either, as I was unable to get the lead to load in a single piece - it broke in two each time I tried. After breaking 3 I stopped wasting lead. I'm really sorry about this, especially since I was giving this one and the 25' one as gifts.

Its a bit big and hefty for smaller hands but the self making feature makes up for that!

Questo metro è geniale! Comprato come regalo al mio ragazzo, felicissimo!

Super intéressant

J’ai beaucoup le ruban il est très pratique

It was a present for my husband and he really likes it

Eigentlich wäre es toll wenn es mit dem Markieren funktionieren würde. Leider funktioniert die Minenführung nicht wie angedacht.
