9 best fractional tape measures

Product description

Back in 1999 Komelon came out with the Gripper and its design was revolutionary. We took this design one step further and added our Speed mark fractional graduations to the blade. The 25-Feet Gripper speed mark has an easy grip, thick rubber jacket surrounding its ergonomic compact case. The blade on the Gripper speed mark is acrylic coated and has fractional graduations printed on the blade making it quick and easy to read. When you reach in your tool belt for a tape measure, make sure you feel the Gripper speed mark because everything else is substandard.

• SpeedMark fractional graduations on blade
• Non glare white blade
• Easy grip, thick rubber jacket
• Protected end hook
• Stud markings noted on blade

User questions & answers

Question:	does the tape feature inches to foot conversion. i.e. at 18 inches, it would put 1F6? the green lime model has it. Tx
Answer:	This is not a great tape measure. Perhaps the average putterer might be okay with it, but beyond that, it basically sucks. Too wimpy; no holdout. Auto lock sounded like a good idea, but it's a pain. I am a 40 year carpenter, and this product is not for professionals.
Question:	How well does it work
Answer:	I think green and yellow. You might want to try this one, I did get this one in white: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001GUE3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_CZmDFbB9GBRPB
Question:	Need this to be white as pictured for a craft project but reviews show green and yellow. What color did you receive
Answer:	If you mean all the way across the tape, yes. There is nothing on the bottom of the tape, though.
Question:	Are there measurements on both sides of the tape
Answer:	Hi Yong Wang, Please be informed that the phone in question comes with a SIM card. Therefore, there is no need to use your old SIM. To transfer, you may text the keyword “Transfer” to 611611, through the website or by contacting us. ^Kathleen

User questions & answers

Question:	Does box cutter come with blade
Answer:	This seems to be quite effective for me, and would recommend it. I personally do not use the honing steel, not necessary. However, at some point you will need a sharpening stone to re-establish the knifes edge to make it really sharp again. The steel just takes the burrs of the edge of the knife. Good Luck!
Question:	are these blades a "standard shape" like other manufacturers? The leather tool I use is made to only take "standard blades".... thank you
Answer:	Yes, it's oblong with diamonds impregnated on both sides. I've used mine for years and love it, in fact I haven't used the whet stones since I got it.The best hint I can give you is that after a while the sides will start to look darker (from the metal it is removing - small amount of very fine metal) and the sharpener will seem to lose its bite. Take a sponge with a scrubby side, wet the diamond sharpener's surface, shake on some cleaner (ajax, comet, barkeepers helper) on both sides and scrub in the cleanser. Rinse well and dry. My experience is that sharpener will work like new until until it needs cleaning again.
Question:	How do I open the springloaded plastic case? There are no directions and it's worse than a rubic's cube puzzle
Answer:	A normal so-called "sharpening steel" is actually for trueing, not for sharpening. It removes a barely-visible burr from the blade, allowing its sharpness to work. This diamond steel is a real sharpener; it removes steel, and will sharpen well, just like (but better than) a carborundum or India stone.
Question:	Is there a blade disposal on the unit
Answer:	I personally use the 3000 grit equiv. and it is perfect! Which U need depends on what U are trying to achieve. I sharpen knives and scissors professionally, so my use will be different than most. I sharpen the knife 1st, hone and finish the knife on the above. This makes for an extremely sharp knife. Follow the angle on the edge and keep it that way otherwise, you will round the edge and dull it.
Question:	I just got this and cannot get the blades from the package. Bad unit or am I missing something
Answer:	It should fit in a knife block, the hole diameter needs to be 1/2 inch or .50 inches. The sharpening guard at the handle is larger than normal and could cause an issue with the other knives in the block.
Question:	How do you replace blades on this knife
Answer:	Yes,this rod is totally round.

Question:	Is the first foot in 1/16 ths?? or 1/32 seconds

A TAILOR MEASURING TAPE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN - WITH FRACTIONS!

The newest member of our tailoring family, the TR16 Fractional Tailor’s Tape is the most easy-to-use tailor’s tape we’ve ever made.

We printed the inch fractions right on the tape.

So there is no more counting, and no more eye or neck strain from trying to read small measurements. The fractional inches are easily discerned because the fractions are written clearly beside their corresponding graduation marks.



This tape, like all tailor’s tapes in our TR16 line, is 5/8″ wide and features large, easy-to-read inch measurements on one side (down to 1/16″) along with clear inch fractions indicated down to eighths of inches on one side, and split-scale inches and metric (down to mm) on the opposite side.



The TR16 tailor’s tape is slightly wider (by 3mm) than our TR13 tailor’s tape. It is perfect for tailoring, sewing, or tracking fitness and dieting results. Also fits perfectly in a traveling sewing kit. All our tailors' tapes are made of durable yet soft, wear-resistant, and non-stretch vinyl-coated fiberglass with metal end pieces. They are designed to remain soft and flexible while maintaining accuracy and standing up to long periods of tailoring and other uses. The measuring tapes are fan-folded neatly with a reusable cardboard band.

• EXTRA WIDE EASY READ TAPE MEASURE - WITH FRACTIONS - 16 mm (5/8 inch) wide tape measure is 3 mm wider than typical tailor tape measure. Inch side includes easy-to-read printed fractions making quick measurements easy and accurate. Tape length is 60 inches / 1.5 meters.
• SOFT TAPE MEASURE - Durable but soft measuring tape is wear-resistant. The non-stretch vinyl-coated flexible tape measure is sturdy with metal end pieces is durable maintaining accuracy up to long periods of use.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this start with 1” at each end of the two sides...does one end have 60” on one side, 1” on the other and the reverse at the opposite end? Thx
Answer:	Not sure as haven't used it much yet, but it seems to be sturdy. There appears to be a protective satin coating on the tape. At this price, I wouldn't worry too much, pick up a spare in case.

Question:	Is the tape truly white, or gray? I own one that's white, then got a different brand, said "white" but was gray. Thanks for any info

Question:	where made
Answer:	Hi Mr./Ms. Mikel, the tape of this tape measure has coating that makes it rust resistant. However, we don't recommend exposure to water too often; it's made of steel after all. Hope this helps, and I hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future.
Question:	On this lx-203 it advertises metric, but i dont see any metric in the photo? does it really have metric
Answer:	YES. Feet, inches and fractions down to 1/8th
Question:	tape width
Answer:	2 inches
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	We currently only carry 120 girts for this size but we have 120 grits for 6PK, 12PK and 18PK.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	I've used it on metal. It works, but wears them down quickly. There may be other types of abrasives better with metal than aluminum oxide. If you're working on any kind of iron or steel, it will make lots of sparks, so clean up any sawdust you might have lying around before you start and do not use a vacuum or other dust collection system while sanding metal with it, or it will suck up the sparks and lead to a fire in the collector (don't bother to ask how I know this).
Question:	Is this waterproof
Answer:	Don’t know about Rigid, but if you have 3/4” spindle it should.

MulWark 26 Feet Professional Heavy Duty Dual Side Magnetic Tape Measure

A Functional One That Makes Measuring Work A Breeze!

Extra Long Two-sided Tape Measure in A Same Compact Size Unlike traditional 25ft measure, this one has a 26ft long blade. It’s better to have the length and not need it than to need it and not have it, especially when it’s affordable. The dual-sided measure blade makes measuring work even more convenient!

Thicker Blade To Avoid Distortion And Enhance Durability The 0.14mm thick reinforced steel blade with ultra wear-resistant coating is sturdy enough to enable 7ft horizontal standout and 13ft vertical standout, eliminating blade deforming or hook rivet falling off to the extreme. While the corrosion-resistant matte coating makes it much easier to read when in a well-lit area where reading gets impacted with strong light reflection.

High-Impact ABS Case With Top Grade Rubber Overmolding Enhances Durability Besides its shockproof compact core and tough constructed ABS frame, this tape’s exterior has a molded hard rubber covering that prevents shatter or damage to the tape when dropped, protecting your measuring tape for as long as you need it.

Smooth Yet Durable Spring Retracting Mechanism The super-strong spring roll core of this tape has improved strength as 3 times that of normal ones, ensures smooth blade extension or recoil without snagging around

Health Friendly Treatment Has Been Applied Many measuring tapes with protective rubber jacket also bring odor emittance from the manufacture of the rubber, while MulWark’s has this kind of chemical smell diminished with material upgraded and sufficient ventilation before leaving the factory

Ergonomical To Achieve One Hand Operation This set has enough rubber overmold around it to enhance the grip, and the blade brake is rather strong and well constructed that the raised thumb catch makes locking it a natural movement without overreaching your thumb

Rubber Strap And Belt Clip Make Carrying Easier Wrist strap made of rubber instead of fabric makes it nearly impossible to twist up on you for easy holding, and the clip behind can be used to secure the tape to a tool bag or belt.

Powerful Magnetic Hook Facilitates Your Measuring Work To A Large Extent

The magnetic end makes it extremely convenient to measure against a ferrous surface especially if you are working solo on a project. As a bonus, the magnets are also strong enough to double the tape as a magnetic pick up tool

• Magnetic horizontal standout length: 25ft
• Magnetic vertical standout length: 26ft

MAIN FEATURES

• Dual-sided Tape Blade
• Fractional Reading
• 8 Meter (26 Feet) Tape
• Powerful Magnetic Hook
• Smooth Rewind Spring
