Perfect Surveyor's Tape Measure - 165 ft. / 50m

My golfing group purchased two of these tapes for measuring closest to the pin on each nine. We like them and they work great. They run out and wind up easily. The markings are easy to measure and one side is inches and one side is metric. We especially like that the only part that is metal is the small roller the tape runs against as it exits the housing. This way the tape won't rust in a short time like our first ones did. This is important in a wet/damp locations (Florida).

This is a great tape measure! Measures in both standard and metric (standard on one side, metric on the other.) The best feature is that because it is a 50 meter tape measure, it also measures up to 165 feet. I was actually looking for a 150' tape measure and couldn't find another one that long that is in an enclosed case. This tape measure is very sturdy, mostly plastic, and should last you for years. It is a bit larger than I expected, but not unwieldy. The only possible downside is that the tape is made of fiberglass. The last fiberglass tape we had was chewed in two by our goat, while we were trying to measure something. But as long as you don't have pesky goats, you'll probably be very happy with this tape measure.

I'm 81 and this is the best long tape measure I have ever owned. Its larger size and excellent handle are the easiest to use out there. Its larger crank takes less effort to rewind and makes possible an easy latching at the working distance. The fiberglass tape will not rust like steel tapes.

I was looking for a long tape that I could travel with in my carry on bag. The size is perfect for that. The tape and case are lightweight and it seems to be fairly sturdy. The only downside I can see is there is no clip on the end for attaching to corners for 1 person operation, like most tape measures have. A pen stuck in the ground works, but I also measure buildings. I've got to figure something out for that.

Work as described, year later still working good
