Title: My Go To Tape Measure
Review: I’ve dropped it more times than I can count onto our concrete floor and it still keeps rocking with me. Having the measurements on both sides of the tape make a huge difference in my line of work, so I LOVE this. The writing is a lot easier to read in low light situations than a classic black on yellow tape.Hands down, this is my new go to tape measure.

Title: Crescent Lufkin is Top of the Line.
Review: If you didn't know by now, Crescent Lufkin tape measure's are the top picks for most jobs, from major construction projects and contractors to DIYer's. All of their products are insanely durable and live up to their worth. When it comes to having anything in your tool box or belt, you always get what you pay for. If you don't care about quality, then this review is not for you. Plain and simple!!! Stay cool my friends. 😉

Title: Easy to read
Review: I purchased this tape measure because I was having a hard time seeing the numbers on my regular tape. This one has karger numbers and is easy to see and the numbers even light up in the dark. The drawback is that it is a bit flimsy and sharp edges so I have moderate cuts on my fingers. Satisfied with the item though

Title: highlights best when projecting green laser lines
Review: I use multiple green laser lines when doing layouts for indoor gymnasium equipment. Especially basketball hoop installs. We translate measurements from the floor to the ceiling to hang them. This green tape measure makes reading the laser line the easiest compared to others. I have purchased 6 of the night eye tapes over the years just for this reason.

Title: Easy to read, even in low light
Review: A friend used one of these at a job site and I was so impressed that I bought the exact one. But he bought it at the big box store and paid twice as much!Sturdy. Stable. Makes me want to ditch the other 10 tape measures I have 🙂

Title: Too flimsy
Review: This tape measure is advertised as being heavy duty with a 14' stand out, but at anything more than 6 or 7 feet it breaks and bends. When extended even a small distance, it twists in any breeze, making it impossible to get an accurate measurement. It's also very heavy to carry and the belt clip is useless since it will not clip onto a belt of even reasonable thickness, because the spring-steel the clip is made from is far too stiff and the ramp for the belt is far too small. It is very evident that Luskin spent most of their design time on unnecessary additions to the case, and not enough on functionality and usefulness.

Title: Disappointing
Review: This is more expensive than Milwaukee.The belt clip is so tight it’s difficult to clip it to anything, yet the clip is so thin I worry it will just snap if I try to pry it open to get it to just slip onto my pocket.It has no magnet at the end.It claims to have a 15’ reach but the tape itself is so thin and flimsy it twirls in the slightest wind.Forget trying to send it vertically above you, the tape just twirls and falls over.Not the heaviest 35’er I’ve encountered, but still in light of all its flaws it’s pretty bulky.Definitely regret buying it.

Review: This is the best I ever had, the strong heavy-duty and soft mechanism, is perfect for the heavy-duty construction. This will last a very long time.
