  • Good solid purchase!
Style: Tape Measure
The DeWalt tape measure truly reflects the company’s reputation for thoughtful design, reliability, and durability. From the moment you pick it up, you can feel the solid construction and attention to detail that make it stand out from many standard tape measures. It’s built with both professionals and DIY users in mind, offering a balance of toughness and user-friendly features. One of the most noticeable advantages is how smoothly and easily the tape retracts. The retraction mechanism feels controlled and dependable, allowing the blade to return quickly without jamming or snagging. This makes it faster and more convenient to use repeatedly throughout the day. Another standout feature is the thickness and rigidity of the blade itself. Unlike thinner tapes that bend or collapse when extended, this one maintains its strength and stability over longer distances. That added thickness helps prevent the tape from turning into a “limp noodle” during long measurements, making it much easier to measure by yourself without the blade folding or sagging. Overall, this tape measure is a great example of the quality and practicality people expect from DeWalt tools. ... show more

  • Compact, Tough, and Classic DeWalt Reliability
Style: Tape Measure
Does the job just as expected from the brand. I picked this up because I needed something less bulky than my standard 35ft tape, and the Atomic Compact Series is the perfect size for a tool belt or pocket without sacrificing durability. The 30 ft. reach is impressive for such a small footprint, and the tape itself feels sturdy with a smooth retraction. The housing is rugged enough to handle the occasional drop on the job site. If you're looking for a dependable, high-quality tape measure that won't weigh you down, this is it. DeWalt nailed the balance between size and performance here. ... show more

  • It has held up to its name.
Style: Tape Measure
I like this tape measure. I have always trusted DeWalt and this tape measure did not let me down. Nice and thick. I have had it out to 10' without bending or twisting. It shows fractions which is a plus. The numbers are large and easy to read without my reading glasses, another plus for me. The lock and clip work good. It is very rugged and good quality. My only complaint is that the when the tape measure is set down on a surface it rests on the catch at the end of the tape and does not rest on the case itself. This might cause problems over time. ... show more

  • Solid, Reliable Tape Measure – Built to Last
Style: Tape Measure
This DeWalt tape measure is sturdy, accurate, and easy to use—perfect for everything from quick DIY jobs to bigger home projects. It has a nice weight to it, which makes it feel durable, and the standout length holds up well without bending. The markings are large and easy to read, and the lock is smooth and secure. I really like the finger brake slot—it gives you good control when retracting the tape. Just a heads-up: it is a bit on the heavier side, but that also adds to the solid, professional feel. Highly recommend for both beginners and pros looking for a quality tape measure. ... show more

  • Excellent tape measure
Style: Tape Measure
This is a very nice tape measure. The tape itself is very strong and stays straight. It pulls easily and retracts easily. It enables you to stop it and maintain a specific measurement without having it automatically retract while you're trying to measure something. Someone keeps walking off with mine. I sure hope I can keep this one to myself! ... show more

  • It's heavy
Style: Tape Measure
Very good tape mesure, it has very good accuracy and the lock feature is good but it is heavy because it's 30 feet so, if you don't need the 30 feet for something I would just get like the 16' or 25' one!

  • High Quality Tape Measurer
Style: Tape Measure
I got this tape measure for my husband as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. Once he opened it, he immediately commented on the quality and durability of this specific one. It has a neat feature where you can either use the button to stop the tape measure while it is out, or your finger, allowing versatility and functionality.He also mentioned how sturdy that tape itself was allowing him to measure things far away without the tape falling. I feel the quality of this tape measure is worth the price and a great value for your money. ... show more

  • High Quality Tape Measure
Style: Tape Measure
This is a nice, heavy duty tape measure that is easy to hold. The finger stop on the bottom is handy. The finger protector at the end of the unit is a plus. The printed measurements are easy to read. I have an identical Dewalt tape measure that actually has "Atomic" printed on it, which this does not, even though it has the same model number and is advertised as Atomic. Not sure what the difference is. Either way I am keeping it. It's one of my nicest tape measures. ... show more
