This feels a *lot* more accurate than my current tape because I’m not having to squint or crane my head around things to take a reading, bold and clear display with feet, inches, fractions. Instant conversion between units is handy. I like the centering function too – one button gives you the ‘half’ distance of the measurement – very useful feature for picture hanging. Every home contractor I’ve had over that sees this in action wants one like it.

Not good for tackling projects that call for precision measurements such as finish carpentry where a 32nd of an inch really matters. Excellent for tasks that do not require precision measurements such as rough carpentry, drywall, plumbing, electrical or simply hanging a picture. Three major features I so love about this little device are the memory, the center line, and using the back of the tape to obtain a measurement up to the corner of a wall. Simply put, AWESOME! And so, I am compelled to give this product an extra star because it impressed me that it still works after dropping it in a bucket of water not once but twice in different occasions. I highly recommend this product and will definitely purchase a few of ’em to give as birthday and X-mas gifts to my family and friends who work in the constructions industry.

I bought this to try an eliminate having issues with not having metric and standard on the same tape. It is smooth and very accurate as my calibration man said it was the most accurate he had seen.
