25 ft. Tape Measure with Magnetic Double-Hook

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.

This is that best tape I ever have

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.

Klein Tools 25-foot magnetic double hook measuring tape is definitely one of the better tapes that I have ever owned but at almost two pounds weight it will probably see more of my work bench than being clipped onto my work belt. The tape itself is SAE and is graduated in 1/16” lines that are bold and very easy to read. Additional foot- inch and 16-inch center markings are also identified on the tape. The tape material is steel with a heavy-duty nylon coating for wear and corrosion resistance. OEM states that the tape can be extended out 13 feet without it bending (snapping), I actually got it out to well over 14 feet several times with no issue. The tape is double sided with a pipe bending (shrinkage) chart and a three-phase layout guide on the back side. The hook is double sided so the back-side hook can be used with pipe (see photo) and the tape will curl around the pipe helping it to stay on. Anyone who has ever worked with pipe understands that this pipe hook feature makes the tape worth having period. The hook is magnetic and will pick up items as large as a normal size claw hammer. The actual size is 2 5/16” wide by 3 7/16 high and long, just shy of 2 lbs. in weight and the case is made of ABS plastic with some rubberized armor on the corners to help if dropped. The tape has both a locking and a finger-controlled retraction speed brake feature along with a belt clip and lanyard loop. OEM states the tape is 1 inch wide, it’s more like 1 1/8” wide. This is a great tape to have, easy to read, lots of retraction control, works great on pipe and you can pick up tools with it. Recommended.

You know, I guess we probably own 30 tape measurers, likely a few more than that. Tape measurers from several name brand manufacturers and several from no-names manufacturers. The Klein Tools 25 ft. Tape Measure with Magnetic Double-Hook will easily fall into my own Top 5. It is accurate, the magnetic double-hook feature is extremely valuable, and any tape 25’ or larger should come standard with a finger brake, this Klein Tape does. This finger brake prevents your skin from contacting the moving blade with a trigger or brake shoe design. And in the event the tape was to become damaged, this separation is much safer upon fast speed retrieval. Not many tapes are double-sided, this Klein Tape is. And, it doesn’t stop there. Klein prints, the-o-so-important, Conduit Bending Multiplier as well as that 3-Phase Table. Now ergonomics; This Klein Tape is made of plastic. I am not sure what percentage is covered in a black rubber over-mold but it has to be around 75-80%. The rubber over-mold also encompasses the finger lock/release mechanism, finger brake, entire top, bottom at least 85% of the face. In ending, this Klein Tape is lanyard compatible and like mentioned above, already makes my Top 5.

There are several aspects of this tape measure that should make it the preferred tool of contractors. The double hook feature makes it very easy to use when you are doing rough carpentry. I found I used it more than the magnetic capability. What I really like is both sides of the tape have measurements in large size numbers so it is easy to read at a distance. I can read the total distance and also mark the studs. My hands are average in size. I have a hard time gripping the tape measure. It is heftier than most making it difficult to use with one hand.

This tape measure will be mine my wife cant use it she has 1 of her own ,I like this one because easy-to-read bold lines markings,i love the double magnetic hook on the front to get the most accurate reading and i love the tape brake so when you unlock it it does not snap back or cut your hand you can retract it slowly.All my friends need to chack out this tape measure from Klein tools.I think it is well worth it and get me another one.

Best tape measure, easy to read, great standout.

It works well and suit my needs. It’s a bit bulkier than I expected but it’s ok.

Great magnet, hooks great

Broke within a month and they wouldn't warranty it.

It broke the first time was dropped from my hip, supposed to be strong and take a hit. Also the protective film started scraping off after 10th in and out
