Title: Ultimate Trash
Product review: I wanted to buy a really reliable well made tape measure. Instead I bought this piece of junk. First, the different shape is a disadvantage, if you have a place made for your tape measure in your tool belt, it doesn't fit as well as the standard square shaped tapes. Second, the recoil is way to strong and not very smooth working at all. You have to use extra care when you recoil it if you don't want to get sliced or pinched by the tape. Third, the tape it self is very thin and cheap. If something falls on it or it gets pinched it is pemanently dented and mis-shapen. Also the cheap little plastic piece that prevents the tape from going too far inside the housing fell off, so now I have to dig the tape out. Oh yeah, and after about a dozen times after using it, the recoil doesn't work at all anymore. You could probably find a better made tape measure at the dollar store.
