I use this for a living, and it is the best. [Posted on 2008-02-13]
I have used this tape 5 days a week for almost 4 years, and it is still going. I own a cabinet shop and work with this tape just about every day I'm in the shop. I didn't like the narrower 3/4" wide tape because it felt too flimsy, and if someone is using a 25' tape to build cabinets, they have not been doing it long. Nothing aginst framers, but a 25' tape is just too big and bulky.
I also had such a hard time finding this tape (it's 1" wide and hase the "blade armor") I ordered 4 of them, so I don't think I will need to worry about getting a new one for about 15 years!!! And amazon was the only retailer that had it!!!
Best 16' Tape I've Ever Used [Posted on 2008-07-19]
I agree with the other review & comments. I'm a commercial paperhanger with over 20yrs in the trade. 16' is usually all I need, and the thinner 3/4" tapes are not nearly as good, and usually end up breaking quickly.
I found a few of these at the local Target about a year ago. I bought 2 of them, and then noticed that they don't stock them anymore. I'm glad to find them here on Amazon at a good price w/ free ship. I think I'll stock up on a couple more just in case they stop making them, or they become even harder to find.
