Komelon 6611 Open Reel Fiberglass Tape Measure, 100-Feet

Worked great. Durable tape. Easy reload.

This measuring is vital to my role as my HOAs ARC. Often we need to measure distances greater than 25, 50 or even 100 feet and this tool allows me to do it in one step and more accurately than when using a shorter measure.

I originally had 100 foot metal tape and needed some thing a little longer Once I bought a house and was doing projects in and out of the house. The fiberglass tape is sturdy and solid. I like one sides fluorescent on the other sides not. Easy to carry, it comes with a stake So you can work by yourself if needed and it as long enough for general use needs at least for me. It may not be the cheapest, but I think it’s worth the price. Even the plastic carry handle seems solid and sturdy.

After reading some of these reviews I'm not sure we a talking about the same product. I estimate to have have bought about 60 - 100' tape measures over the years. Tried everything I could get my hands on. Most tapes were junk which failed in a couple months Finally settled on the KOBALT product line from Lowes but now they are unavailable. Bought 2 of these in 2021 and another 2022. They are light weight, very durable, and came in perfect condition. Ideal for hard everyday use in the severe weather & terrain conditions here in Maine. Have not so-far worn out the tape itself on any of mine. The reels might get worn or broken but the tape is still good. Did have an issue with the 2022 units as the little prongs on the clasp disappeared too soon. This is an issue on all tapes. Thought I had a winner because the prongs on the beat-up 2021 units are in still better shape than the 2022 units. When are the manufacturers going to realize that the gear reduction thing makes for a junk product? Don't try to give me one. No more room to hang this junk in my shed. Will be purchasing the Komelon unless I find a better product.

This item worked perfectly. I needed it to measure in an old cemetery.

I purchased two of these at 200' and a Dewalt 300' tape to layout and flag for 3500 tree plantings. Working solo I pulled at near maximum length all of these many times across my planting area to get a consistent 12x12 and squared layout on a terraced old field. These have been much much easier to use than the Dewalt in pulling out and reeling in. I didn't check the accuracy but it seems to be good and has held up without stretching in that my rows are very much visually straight in all directions. I did check one against the other when I thought I had pulled too much and too hard on one - they lined up perfectly.

Easy to read, thick and perfect size tape measure

I never had one of these before and used to measure for long distances with a yardstick flipped over and over and over and trying to keep track of how many flips it took to measure something. After an extremely short learning curve this tape measure is very easy to use. I used it to measure distances of ~40 feet, and 106 feet easily. The little stake in the ground snaps right onto the structure of the product so you don't lose it, and when you stake it into the ground, it's just like having another person helping you. And the stake is bright orange so that if you do lose it, you'll probably find it quickly.
