I have tried every tape on the market.This one is durable, drop proof (important if working elevated), high visible reflective logo, good projection, stiff and doesn’t snap over long distances, and most importantly they donate to veterans a portion of all sales.

Looks and works great. Only wish the magnet was bigger and stronger for when drop stuff from my ladder or lift. But not too much of a big deal, I make my apprentice pass me anything I drop anyway

Initially I didn’t like these brand of tape measures. But after trying out a few other big name brand ones and comparing them to Spec Ops, I’ve found that they are actually pretty good. I am returning all my other tape measures I bought and only using this brand. I really love the double side printing, the fractions, etc.I do recommend these tape measures.

This happened today from simply drawing it out to measure.... Purchased December 30th after the previous one had a different issue, I thought maybe something I did on the first one so I reordered because it seems to be well built. I use this everyday at work and it is in fact, already falling apart. And alas return policy is 30 days, I cannot be expected to order a new tape measure every two months.

The tape is high quality for a low price. Very easy to use, lock is strong and stable, and has standard accuracy for a tape. Due to it being 35 feet, it is a bit bulky in size, but if you want smaller, just get a shorter tape! I recommend all products from this company, Spec Ops.

Money well spent. Quality in all aspects of design.The manufacturer logo looks outstanding.Hash markers are defined and easy to read.Has some weight to it giving it a durable feel.This is easily apart of the everyday essentials bag.

Started out as a decent tape measure but wore out quickly. The first 12" got soft and floppy within 3 weeks of using it. I am a contractor and the tape measure is one of my main tools. Did not last and did not stand up to the sales hype. Already replaced, waste of $35

I was looking for something different other than Dewalt and Milwaukee because I wanted to buy from someone that wasn't already making millions a year because of their early entry to the construction industry.I'm a journeyman Commercial carpenter who uses a tape measure all day every day and I needed something to be quick and durable. The blade of the tape being the biggest issue with Tapes. Dewalt tapes tend to crack within 3-4 months of heavy use and I hate having to spend $30 for them 3-4 times a year to go out so quick.This tape lasted me 5 months until I got a tiny crack near the 4 inch mark on mine. I've been installing ACT grid so I'm bending it in the short position a lot for borders and such. I digress.The structure of the tape measure has been consistent other than the thin rubber coating peeling off as time has gone on, but thats not anything that really impacts it's function.Right away I noticed - when I first started using it- I was working with plywood, and the wood dust/shavings someonhow made their way in between the clear film and the actual metal tape. So there's about an 1 of measurements that I can't see because of it building up in there.The tape also tended to start bending a certain way, so sometimes when I would lift it, it would instantly bend because of how it was forming one way over the other. Which this also made it difficult to use on walls to measure elevations. Since the bottom would be spinning out, you were prone to making minor errors in your measurements.The magnet could be a little stronger in my opinion. Constantly working with metal pieces or grid and metal stuff framing makes a magnet very valuable and time saving in my opinion so a good strong magnet is important me. This one gets the job done, but sometimes it's weak in certain scenarios. Not bad at all, just not as strong as Dewalts for sure - but better than Milwaukee'sOver all I do love this tape. Although the new one I most recently bought has a 1/16 or so fold on the blade and is already making it bend a weird way. Must've been a production malfunction and I got unlucky. But the tape is good. Would last a VERY long time for people just looking for a tape measure for around the house/property. And I mean - it lasted ME 5 months and I use a tape about 2.5 hours total time used out of a 8-10 hour day.I forgot to mention that this tape will always snap back. It's has actually sliced me a few times at how hard it will be back. Over 12 feet and you let that thing rip and if you don't absorb the return it will recoil and wrap around your hand. Careful. I'm a professional, but even I get carried away haha!The pictures I posted were about 3-4 months ago after I had bought it - so like March-April ish.Hope this helped everyone. :)

I’ve been using the measuring tape while rebuilding my deck. I can read the numbers well which is good considering my fading eyesight! The recoil is excellent, so much that I’ve snapped my fingers a couple of times but at least I’m not having to feed it back in.As a Veteran, I personally appreciate that 3% of each purchase is donated back to us, Veterans!
