HART 30-Foot Soft Grip Compact Tape Measure, Oversized Hook

My first impression was how heavy it was. Now for a man, it just feels normal, but I'd had only rinky dink tapes in the past. This one was a whole new ball game. The MOST important part for me was how large the numbers were. I don't see very well, and had no trouble seeing these. I could even see the fractions. The brake works really well. On cheaper ones, that's usually the first thing to go in my experience, then it doesn't want to retract the tape. But the HART on was terrific, even my better half who is a die hard Stanley man was impressed. So thank you for the opportunity to experience a HART product.

The HART 30-Foot Soft Grip Compact Tape Measure with Oversized Hook works great. Me and my wife installed a large window ac this weekend and needed a tape measure. This one has the inches and feet on both sides and the back side is orientated so you dont have to break your neck trying to read it as you can easily read it in up down position on the back side and side to side on the front side. The numbers are large and readable. The belt hook works good and is strong and seems well connected we were both surprised how easy it was to read due to the multiple orientations of the numbers. The tape measure locks in place very strongly and does not accidentally slide back in. If this one ever breaks and let me tell you its causing is very tough so I have doubts it ever will but if it did we would get another just like it. We own 2 other tape measures and they dont compare to this one.
