Review: Once you try Self Lock, you will not want to go back. - Pros Self Lock mechanism (this is awesome) - can be operated with one hand. Nylon coated blade - more durable and less likely to cut your hand. Rubber grip - comfortable and easy to hold. Cons Measurements printed on one side only (most tapes are also one-sided) No dual imperial/metric units. I originally purchased this tape measure thinking that Self Lock might be useful, but probably overrated. What a surprise. It was immensely useful. There is no longer the need to manually lock the tape in position every time it is pulled out. If the tape is attached to my belt, it can also be operated with one hand. Rubber grip surrounds and protects the body while making it comfortable to hold and easy to use. The rubber is also on the opening to act as a buffer protecting it from rewinding forces. Pressing and holding the button will rewind the tape, although I would recommend gradually guiding the tape back by hand. The nylon coated blade will not cut your fingers. The green accents are interesting, distinguishing itself from all the other yellow tape measures. 5/8-in. width tape allows it to be lightweight and compact. However, the short-width tape begins to sag at 3 ft., and collapses at ~5.5 ft. Komelon offers .75 and 1 in. widths with their longer tapes if needed. The measurements are only printed on one side in case anyone find themselves in a situation where they need the other side, although this is intentionally a one-sided tape so it is not really a con. It is too bad Komelon's Self Lock series does not offer dual imperial/metric units. This would double their usefulness. The Self Lock mechanism makes this an excellent tape measure and a pleasure to use. I also have a basic non-Self Lock Komelon with imperial/metric units, and keep coming back to this one even though it lacks metric units. Now that I am spoiled by Self Lock, I don't think I will ever go back to manually operated tape measures again.
Review: Love this Tape Measure! - You may think a tape measure is a tape measure is a tape measure. But you would be wrong. I use one a lot and I was very unhappy with the couple I had at home and had been using. I researched them and decided on this one. It's great for what I need. It is extremely easy to see and read, the lock works great and when I push the button to have it reel back it, I don't have to worry about it hitting my hand. And of the course the lime green color doesn't hurt since I love that color. If you looking for a simple, not huge, but extremely efficient tape measure - this is it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well made automatic locking tape measure
*by J***A on January 12, 2017*

Best 12 foot tape measure I have used for the price. They are sturdy, well made, and a nice size for ladies or anyone with smaller hands to use. My wife liked mine so much I had to get another. I REALLY like the auto lock feature of the blade. Pull the blade out, and it stays out, until you press the green release button on the top front of the body. Retracts strongly, yet is easy to control with the button. I like the bright green color, hard to get lost, and the black around the outer surface is kind of a rubbery armor, drop it onto concrete from waist high, and it just kind of bounces a little with no damage. The tape itself will stand out between 5 and 6 feet, and is bright and easy to read. Marked for studs, too. If you don't need a tape longer than 12 feet, this is a great choice.
