Product Description
Back in 1999 Komelon came out with the Gripper and its design was revolutionary. We took this design one step further and added our Speed mark fractional graduations to the blade. The 25-Feet Gripper speed mark has an easy grip, thick rubber jacket surrounding its ergonomic compact case. The blade on the Gripper speed mark is acrylic coated and has fractional graduations printed on the blade making it quick and easy to read. When you reach in your tool belt for a tape measure, make sure you feel the Gripper speed mark because everything else is substandard.

I say secondary because in Canada specifically, having a main tape that's a little more heavy duty and has metric is very useful for European, Arabic and other international clients who most often provide measurements in metric, so it takes the Googling/Math out of the equation, whereas the Komelon SM5425 is all about quick imperial measurement and I'd give a 7/10 in regards to build quality-- not the toughest, but still FAR better than anything else I've seen or used in this price range.
The tape stand out (extending it as far as you can in the air before it breaks) seems to be around 10-11ft. All the black portions you see in the picture are rubberized while the white is a hard plastic. The belt clip has a little side-to-side give, which is needed if you hook it directly to your waist so you don't bruise your sides while leaning over. The greyish tape itself is quite non-reflective so if you're working outside or under large lamps, you don't need to worry about the direct light getting in your way. It has a decent heft for a 25ft-- not the lightest and not the heaviest I've used, but a good balance for larger hands.
Overall, for the price, this tape is outstanding if you do NOT need metric and I've found it very useful for most woodworking and plumbing applications.

The cons - Which aren't REALLY cons, just features some people may miss:
. It's only single sided.
. It doesn't have metric.
As I said, not really cons though - Double sided printing would up the price by a lot, and adding metric would make it a lot less readable, and this is the primary feature of this measure.
I'll use my double sided Klein measure for metric measurements, and this for Imperial.
So in all, if you can still get this for around sixteen bucks, buy a load of them and consider it a great deal! Talking of which, I should get another for the car.
Hopefully, you find this review helpful.
