Fourth times the charm?
This tape has an amazing standout I've gotten it to 15' that being said I've had 3 of these before and thank god home Depot has the Klein exchange because they've all snapped around the same point for me (around 90"). I love everything else about the tape measure just wish the tape was more durable

Klein tape measure broke at 3 inches
The only use for my tape measure is to mark apartments for plugs and switches. I only used the tape measure for 2 days and it broke near the 3 inch mark

poor quality
decent tape measure, but unfortunately within 3 months it cracked at the 4" mark and made it unusable. Home Depot DID NOT honor the Klein tool replacement warranty.

Tradesman grade quality and features not found in most tape measures. Large, easy to read markings on BOTH sides of the tape which is extremely useful when using overhead plus engagement hooks also on both sides for more "landing" opportunities. Some of its not typical features are very useful for electrical conduit bending and 3 phase layouts
Specs claim a 13ft "standout" but in my testing it starts seriously drooping at around 10ft but when working on a ladder, especially overhead, anything over 8ft is greatly appreciated. All of this requires beefy material to work which translates to heavy duty (with the keyword in this case being "heavy"). Be careful when retracting this tape since it requires a powerful spring which if you are not paying attention when employing the drag brake, you are probably going to bleed some (I am not exaggerating)

Excellent tape measure. It's very heavy duty and I expect it to last a long time!
Pros:
VERY solid tape to allow for holding when measuring from floor to ceiling. Doesn't get floppy at all.
Big letters / lines and easy to read even when not right on top of it. The measurements are also on both sides of the tape!
Holds well when locked in place. Has a "temporary hold" button you can use when you only need to "lock" it for a second, instead of having to lock and then unlock.
Spring is strong enough to pull tape back in even when measuring a long distance (i.e. you do not have to feed it by hand till it gets short enough).
Cons or Tips:
Lock is pretty hard to push down, but might get easier over time. The spring is very strong, so you do have to be careful. These are both issues I'm sure I'll get used to as I use it more. It's on the heavy side if you were carrying it around all day.

This is a really excellent tape measure. I mostly got it because it has extremely clear markings--it's all in inches, the numbers are quite large and easy to see, and the fractional markings are very easy to keep track of. I didn't think I would really care about the magnetic hook, but it has already come in handy. As you can see in the attached photo, the magnet is really quite strong, so you can easily pull out tape without the magnet becoming dislodged. I also really like the brake this tape measure has to keep the tape from whipping back at you too quickly. The standout length is a bit over-sold--the package says 13', but mine flops at about 9'. Not a big deal to me, but it might be for some folks. The only real drawback for me is that this is quite a heavy measure--2 or 3 pounds--so it's not one that I'll be carrying around on my belt for making quick measurements. But otherwise, it has become my go-to tape measure.

I love this tape. It's very durable and strong, and it is well marked on both the top and bottom sides of the tape. It has a locking mechanism on the front of the tape, which holds the tape securely when extended, and there is a brake on the bottom of the tape body that allows you to reel in the tape at a slower pace. The magnetic tip with the double hook is also very convenient and allows for easy one-person measuring.

This tape measure has several handy features. The numbers are larger than most, making it easy to read. The tip is magnetic and has extensions/hooks going both up and down. Dimensional markings are on both sides of the tape. There are also guides on the tape for pipe bending. There’s a brake on the bottom of the tape enabling control of the recoil.

Yet another fantastic Klein tool! I guess you can tell I like Klein tools, they are very well built and long lasting. I have three Klein tape measures. This one has two magnetic hooks on it. It has a nice wide blade for easy reading. Thirteen foot stand out. And a blade break to slow it down while retracting it. If you're an electrician it has a conduit bending table on the back or bottom side of the blade. The belt hook on the Klein tapes are the best I have ever had. I usually clip it onto my pocket instead of my belt and it works fantastic. Other tapes clips are really stiff and hard to clip on. It's an inch wide and it clips on real easy. I highly recommend it.
