Irwin Tools IRWIN Strait-LINE Tape Measure, 16 ft, Includes Retraction Control, for All Your Measuring Needs (IWHT39391S)

Use it on the job, durable and functional. Like the lock feature and tape has good thickness and grip. Easy to read numbers too.

I’ve bought this ruler three times, for some reason I keep losing it. I really like that it has a wide tape, large numbers, no fractions, but it has a horrible clip. In fact one of the worst clips ever, it’s too shallow and weak, it constantly falls off my belt, if you walk w/ those huge pouches or have a holster it’ll be great for you.

Great Product Great Price

I use tape measure every day of my life and I’m very rough on them. This is the most adorable, stiffest tape that I’ve ever owned. All types by big names are stiff in the beginning but wear quickly. Been using this tape for many months and I am very rough with it and it by far outlast any tape I’ve ever bought and I have purchased hundreds of them through my life. I really have no complaints but I left only four stars hoping they would read this and add a magnet to the end. it would be the perfect tape then. Beginners….., please use the finger break because this tape is industrial tape and it will hurt your fingers if you let it snap back without using the finger break. I know this because I’ve done it and it’s my own fault not theirs. Please add a magnet. i’m a steel worker what do carpentry work at home I would love to have it at my shop the magnet is absolutely needed for steel fabricating

I read some blog about this being the best! And its beefy. I got tired of recycling through this tool annually. And this is tough, easy to read. And its so chonky, in pinch I can weaponize this!

Worst tape EVER, I BOUGHT 2, both broke within 70 days each. Irwin might be good for other things, just don't manufacture measuring tapes, not your thing.

Probably the best tape you can buy right now. Use it everyday full time for work. I’ve had good luck with it

I love the finger stop on this tape, and the double-sided printing - very convenient. The finger stop makes it easy to control without having to lock it down. Extension rigidity seems to be as advertised. I'm not sure how those guys with the low rating managed to break the thing - it sounds like they are letting the tape snap back at full speed without controlling the return? I've only used it for a few months around the house for a remodeling project - I'm not a pro - so maybe I'm just easier on it, but durability seems fine thus far.
