I purchased this tape measure for my dad as a birthday present. He was always having trouble reading the measurements on his tape measure. He would always have to stop and put his glasses on to read the measurements. He loves this tape measure because the numbers and markers on the tape measure are bigger and bolder than most tape measures. He doesn't have to put his glasses on to read the measurements when using this tape measure. After I gave him this one and he had a change to use it a couple of times, he is thinking about purchasing a second one. This way he can keep one at home, and one at his office

The locking "switch" broke shortly after I bought the measuring tape. Then today, the metal piece at the 0" mark broke, so the tape is totally inaccessible now. Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, the tape is heavy and sturdy. (For the record, I'm only an occasional user of the tape, not a professional, so it should have lasted longer.)

This is the greatest invention for folks who don't understand measurements (or how to read measurements other than 1/4, 1/2, 3/4). This made doing my craft work so easy. It plainly states (has marked) the measurements. That means you don't have to figure (for people like me)...1/8, 3/8, 5/8 yadadaaayaaaaddaa. Its plainly marked/written on the tape. Its a great tool! Well worth the money (and the price was reasonable). I would recommend. I would buy again.

Purchased two of these Ubante 25ft Measuring tape and both stopped working in less than 6 months. The locking mechanism is made of very flimsy plastic and immediately broke off. Was impressed to have a completely different measuring tape than everyone else, since our Stanley and fat max continually disappear on the worksite since everyone has the same ones.

I bought this as a gift for my husbands Christmas stocking gift after my son who uses this everyday in his job and loves it says "you gotta get one for Dad! So I did

Not 25 feet as written on the tape measure. Only 20 and as a result, I now have a non-working tape measure.
