DeWalt DWHT36109 30' Tape Measure

This is really an excellent tape measure. Up to Dewalt standards - tough, long extension (goes past 12' without collapsing), fast rewind, easy locking. I have one in every room so I don't have to go hunting when I need it. Note for the guy who had difficulty unpacking it: Unscrew the belt clip first; after that everything comes apart easily.

Can never go wrong with the wall. Great product last forever. Where’s the money?

Very short but great value if you want something more compact. Still has a solid build quality and weight to it and is easy to use.

This is a nice, heavyweight tape measure. The tape itself is not flimsy and numbers are large and easy to read.

The tool itself is very good but the packaging! I swear that there is a package design school somewhere where they teach their students to make their packages as difficult to open as possible. It took me a full ten minutes just to get this thing out of its card with minimal damage. I say minimal damage because it now has some scratches but I was afraid the belt clip would pop off. All the while, I had to be careful not to cut myself on the sharp edges of plastic that resulted from my efforts. It's as if the company is trying deliberately to frustrate and injure their customers. What is up with this?

I've been in the trades for 40+ years and still use a tape frequently in retirement. I remember back in the '70's the standard was the 16' tape, usually Stanley or Lufkin. The extension was a little over 60' and then the tape measure wars started. First the 20, then the 25, 30, an onward to ridiculousness lengths for a retractable tape, with the blades getting wider and wider for longer and longer extension capabilities. Soon they will be putting wheels and handles on them. After you've had your fun and gotten over your complexes, give yourself a rest with a nice hand size tape measure that will do anything you need a tape measure to do. You can take that one extra step if needed to hook your tape onto the end of whatever, and you might even save a couple minutes a day not trying to hook your tape on something 20' away on windy days. Give this puppy a try and you'll feel like you're young again with a 16' tape like back in the good old days! OK maybe the 70's weren't all that great, but you know what I mean.

This is the second tape like this I've purchased. The first lasted almost ten years. I highly recommend.

Excellent quality! Best!

Excellent tape measure. Not too bulky or heavy. I rarely need more than 16 feet.

good product & service, recommended
