User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a belt clip
Answer:	Of course. You can either use VH-80 as bilateral or single sided by setting measuring mode. Thank you.
Question:	How has the locking mechanism held up over time
Answer:	Sure, if you measure the width and length of the swimming pool in Area mode, vh-80 will automatically multiply values and show square footage. To get square footage, make sure that you are measuring swimming pool in feet not m unit. Keep in mind that VH-80 is only designed for calculating triangle and square area. About freeform area you might not be able to get a result you expected. Thank you for your attention about our product.
Question:	Does this include fractional inch marks? The picture suggests there are none
Answer:	Thank you for asking! It gives you a complete line as you can find in the 4th main photo in the listing. If you try to measure from one wall to the opposite wall, it gives you a complete line. I hope the answer is helpful.
Question:	does it have the Mm and Inch measurement
Answer:	Yes the batteries are replaceable (important to me), and it does offer CM & MM, Inches, Feet (w/Fractions), and Feet (w/Decimal 1/10"). So far it meets, even exceeds my expectations.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference an exact ktx1-25-n tape and a ktx1-25-n tape, besides a $10 higher price for the exact tape
Answer:	I don't know which measuring tape Sheila Haouchine bought but I just rec'd mine and it has a belt clip.
Question:	What is the width of the tape
Answer:	I have this exact model, and I loved it... until the lock completely broke. After only average to low usage, over 2-3 years. Only one I've had break, even among plenty questionable no-namers and freebies. It will not lock at all anymore, tape always retracts (only slightly slowed if locked). I've taken it apart, and the lock mechanism (you can partly see it in one of product photos) is plastic, thin, and not worthy of fixing (if even possible). Komelon does not sell the part (ha), nor did they offer to replace the unit. That tells me everything I need to know. Thanks for asking (five years ago).
Question:	Where is this tape measure made, which country
Answer:	Yes , mine has fractional measurements
Question:	What is meant by "1.58mm Graduation Interval"? I find this on Amazon but not on the Starrett site
Answer:	Purchased on April 2017 - was only in Inchs, no metric measurements accept 3.5m on the front. Misleading to say the least.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does "by 25mm" mean? Is that the width of the tape
Answer:	You can have the "exact" tape measure calibrated. Certified as exact.
Question:	Just so I have it correctly, are you just adding a zero to the end of the number to get the number in MM? or is the picture of a standard inch tape
Answer:	The description says 19mm. I have it in my shop so I can't verify that. It is however not sturdy enough to hold out very far. I love the ones that are about 1 inch wide and can go out about 10 or 15 feet and hold up. Yeah, this one annoys me because it can't do that but I don't require a metric tape measure that often so I just put up with it.
Question:	Is this in centimeters or millimeters
Answer:	China. It's printed on the very end of the tape.
Question:	Is this made in china
Answer:	It means that whoever wrote the text was on auto-pilot. A non-metric version of this tape must have said '1/16" graduation interval'. Someone read the 1/16" and dutifully converted it to millimeters. Get out your calculator, and you will see that 1.58mm = 1/16", to the first two decimal places. This is a full metric tape, which I love, and it doesn't have any 16ths on it, nor any weird 58 hundredths of a millimeter. It's a great tape, with millimeters along both edges.

User questions & answers

Question:	What's on the back of the tape? Is it 2-sided
Answer:	25 mm is the width of the blade. For reference, that is almost exactly one inch.
Question:	What is the width of the cmht37212s one
Answer:	Yes all of the marks are in multiples of 10 so the the tape here is 8m which is 8000mm. Every little mark is a mm and the 10 is 100mm and so on. Hope that helps
Question:	How strong is this metal tape, i.e. will it bend and not stay straight at like 7 feet out? Thank You
Answer:	Each number denotes a centimeter. Each of the hash marks inside of a centimeter denote a millimeter. The sightly longer one denotes 5 mm. So if you measure 5 whole centimeters with an additional 7 hash marks, that would be 5 cm and 7 mm, or 5.7 cm, or 57 mm.
Question:	Is the craftsman cmht37225s tape measure 1" wide or 3/4" wide
Answer:	The one I just got says it's from China

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

User questions & answers

Question:	do both sides have the metric and inches graduation
Answer:	There are red stud marks every 16 inches along the entire tape. There is a black marker every 12 inches, marking each foot. This is the best tape measure I have ever used, both in terms of the way the markings are set up on both sides of the tape, the way it fits the hand, and the very smooth and reliable mechanics of the tape itself.
Question:	What's the dimension of this tape case
Answer:	Yes and it is a sturdy one that holds onto the belt with a snug fit. I’m thinking the clip is made of a quality spring steel.
Question:	Does heiko make a shorter tape measure like this? 16’ or 25’ would be ideal
Answer:	The start of the tape (from 5" to 8") says "DURA NY-Coat" and "NYLON COAT," and it appears to have a very thin textured coating on both sides. This is a very well-made tape measure.
Question:	What is the exact dimension (diameter) of the label on the side
Answer:	Hello and thank you for your question. There are two scales on the one side of the blade only - inches/feet on the top and metric on the bottom.
