DeWalt DWHT34049 300' tape Cheap plastic planetary
August 9, 2020
We bought one from The Home Depot and on the first use the planetary gears in the rewind crank sheared off. Took it back to The Home Depot thinking it was defective and they kindly gave us a replacement. Planetary gears sheared off the replacement after 4 uses this time. Not going to try to get a replacement because we just don't want one

BIGGEST POS I’ve ever owned
April 23, 2020
Bought this tape today from HomeDepot. I will not buy another one. I pulled it out and reeled in back in (walking to the tape every time) 2 times the 3rd time it broke and won’t reel back in.

Tough and well made! Easy to read large print, but also compact. It fits perfectly in my hands. The base on it it is very sturdy when measuring. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Small and Easy to read
March 19, 2020
Customer review from dewalt.com
As a Handyman, I rarely need a tape measure over 12’. This tape is 16’ so it will handle 99% of what I need to do. The blade is wide so it won’t buckle and the numbers are large so you can read them easily. It goes out to 10’ without buckling. I have small hands and it fits in my hand great. It also comes back slower than other models so it won’t pinch your fingers. I also love the 3 rivet design to keep the end from bending from prolong use.

Perfect 16’ tape measurer
March 18, 2020
Customer review from dewalt.com
As a flooring contractor, I use a tape measurer every day. This guy is a perfect lightweight tape that I can easily hook to my pouch and not feel too weighed down. It feels well built and has great markings that are easily read. The very first thing I did after taking it out of its packaging was try a standout, and this little guy got to 12 feet before falling. For its size, it is a very sturdy tape measurer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

As others mentioned, the slider lock failed after less than 2 months of light use at home. Too bad, as the tape and body are good quality.
