CRAFTSMAN 25-Ft Tape Measure with Fraction Marketing, Retractable, Manual-Locking Blade (CMHT37443S)

This is my favorite tape measure! The 25-foot length is perfect for all my projects, and it retracts smoothly every time. The measuring blade is sturdy, not flimsy, with a nice wide design and bold, easy-to-read numbers. No kinks or snags, even with frequent use. I like it so much that I bought the 16-foot version to keep in the kitchen for quick measurements. Reliable, durable, and well-made. I highly recommend!

Just like the more expensive version at the blue big box store. Great tape, easy to see and read numbers. Sturdy.

You know quality when you hold it in your hands. This is one of the best tape measures available. Quality built to withstand hard use. The tape is easy to read and retracts in an instant .

Great Craftsman quality, protective rubber surface for dropping and no damage. Little beast. Locking mechanism sure and firm. Tape movement easy in, easy out. Design is a heavy duty brute. Inexpensive price.

Tape measure is good has a very long reach can have it like 10-12 feet extended with one hand and stays up.has a durable build with rubber have dropped it a couple times and has held up at work.only gripe is the blade retracts pretty aggressively and if your not aware it could whip your knuckle which has happened to me a couple times.

Tape measure is typical Craftsman quality, meaning excellent. Its bright red color insures you won’t forget it on a job somewhere and misplace it. Perfect size for a 25 ft tape. I have no doubt this tape will last a long time. The lock feature feels positive and the outreach distance is perfect.

I like the wide, stable blade with easy to read markings, even with my 70 Yr old eyes. This tape measure replaces a lower quality one with a brittle hard plastic case that I dropped, causing catastrophic damage. This one is made with much better materials and design.

This tape measure is like the Swiss Army knife of measurement tools—except it doesn’t have a corkscrew, but who needs that when you’ve got fractions printed right on the blade? No more squinting, guessing, or doing mental math that makes you question your life choices. The self-locking blade is a game-changer. It stays put like a loyal dog waiting for a treat, and when you’re done, it retracts smoothly without that terrifying snap that makes you flinch like you’re in a horror movie. The rubber overmold? It’s like the tape measure is wearing a stylish yet functional jacket—grippy, durable, and ready for action. I’ve dropped it (oops), and it just shrugged it off like, “Is that all you’ve got?” Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast, a professional contractor, or just someone who likes to measure things for fun (no judgment), this tape measure is your new best friend. It’s accurate, reliable, and makes you feel like a measuring wizard.
