It’s small but good enough for an extra one when u need to quickly get your hands on a tape measure for projects without pulling out the whole tool kit. Would recommend.

I bought this tape measure 5 years ago, according to Amazon. It is packaged such that for household use, you can leave it in its packaging and everything still works perfectly. Why leave it? So that I can always find it easily. It is small, and the packaging is yellow and big and makes it easy to find among my pile of junk. My 5 year old tape measure is still in its packaging, works great and I use it all the time, and I never have trouble find it until recently, when my son keeps taking it to do schoolwork and doesn't put it back, so I am buying one for him so that he can leave mine alone. It is in both ft and cm, which is handy.So remember, if you don't plan to pack it around on your belt, leave it in the packaging, and you will thank me every time you find it in a flash. Buy it for your mom for her birthday. It is perfect for old women like me.

I’m an old dog (old carpenter / old builder) learning new tricks - doing more work in metric.I bought one of these tapes last year; it’s my primary go-to tape, and lives on my workbench, so it’s my tool of choice for everything shop. (Outdoor, when I’m framing or such, I’m still inches.)I just bought a second identical tape to live next to my machining tools. Now, I can do some planning and roughing on my bench, in metric, and directly fabricate in my machine shop.Yes, as you’d expect (but I still checked) the measurements are identical. And yes, I could just stop what I’m doing, grab the original tape from the bench, and go back to fabricating, but as a devotee of Adam Savage, that is a source of productivity friction (“first order accessibility”). So, a small luxury, but one that I find useful.They’re nice, small tapes, that are great for smaller tasks, and for helping old dogs learn metric. They are NOT what I’d use to build a house, tho.

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!

After the first, I bought two more. Pretty good tape measure for a very good price.

I recently bought a tape measure from HF and was appalled by the poor build quality. I decided to get a new one with metric on it and this was very affordable and a good size for my needs. My first impressions are very positive. The build quality of this tape measure puts the HF one to shame and rivals the larger Stanley tapes that I have. Just received it, but so far, I like it a lot and may grab a couple more ,so that I have more tapes with metric on them.

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.

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

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!

This tape measure works great; it's a good length, unrolls and rolls up easily and feels great in your hands. Very high quality without being bulky or heavy.

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 is a great tape measure in general, sturdy easy to read and compact.But its best feature is that it is marked in both Inches (1/16" resolution) and Metric. So I'm finding it's the best way to start becoming more conversant in metric equivalents of the more familiar inch measurements.I was trying to find a small project enclosure on Amazon and many of them give metric sizes. But I had no intuitive feel for 70 mm. Sounds huge, but I know a mm is pretty small. So actually how big is a lot of a small thing... I dunno... let me get a calculator 'cause the one thing I do know is there are 2.54 cm in an inch. Ok so punch in 70, divide by 10, divide by 2.54 and get 2.75 inches. I can calculate it but I have no feel for it, yet.But with this wonderful tape measure I just pull it out to around 70 mm and immediately see ah ok that's a bit less than 3 inches. It's a perfect representation of not only the numeric conversion but also a compelling visual that I can relate to much better. And thus will remember. I was able to use the tape measure to approximate the stuff that needed to fit into the project box and could then quickly chose the ideal size from Amazon.I love this tape measure, and will order another for my workshop.
