I love my Milwaukee auto-lock tape measure. I love the auto lock because honestly, I need it more than I don't. I also love the fractional scale. It's not that I don't know how to read a traditional tape measure and do the fractions, it's just that I love tools that make things easier/simpler. Now, I will say, I can't get remotely close to a 12' reach as advertised. It's more like 9-10 for me. But, that's not enough of an issue for me to knock down the high rating!

Like most, the auto stop will quit.
I use this for my everyday tape measure and it worked ok for about a week but when you use it all day for a couple weeks, it stops auto locking. Plus the tape seams to rust out fast. I am building my house and have to cut Hardie in the rain and dirt so the tape gets wet even though I use a towel every night to dry it off, still rusts out. For the price, it should be way better. This was my second tape. All my tools are Milwaukee so a little bummed I have to use another brand for my tape.

Doesn't lock after a few months
Like other reviews, mine stopped locking after just a few months of weekend use. I liked using it when it worked, but it's not a good tape.

Auto lock broke so you cannot use it without locking it by your finger.

Warranty 3 times still won’t work right
I have gotten these switch out multiple times by the milwaukee yet they say they sent me an upgraded version but the tape measures remain the same. They won’t retract, and that pretty their main feature.

Push button location and function are ridiculous. Most annoying tape measure I've ever used

its a tape measure. it has easy to read numbers, fractions in between to help and are easily readable as well. The auto locking is neat and the actual tape is a nice matte so it doesn't reflect alot of light.
