DEWALT Atomic Compact Series 30 ft. Tape Measure (DWHT38130S)

I've been using this tape for about a week now. Some of the reviews indicated that the hook on the end was loose and affected the accuracy of the ruler. I discovered I had exactly the same problem. However, upon examination I realized that if the rivets were set better, it would put it back into an accurate position. For that reason I used a peen hammer and was able to tighten up the rivets to where they do not slip anymore. It didn't take very much pressure and I did not hammer hard. Just a few taps and things tightened right up. It is now dead on accurate.I like the heft and feel of the housing of the tape in my hand. I enjoy the separate finger break underneath and the regular locking mechanism works well. I also enjoy that I can stretch the tape out somewhere between 10 and 11 ft before it kinks and falls. That's much better than the other tapes that I've been using.I hope that it will last as long as it feels like it will.

Charge lasts and lasts. Cleared an area spending about an hour cutting with Dewalt pruning chain saw and battery still showed full. With a larger tool like a pruning saw you don't notice the extra half pound of this battery.

Sturdy, reliable, and built to last! This DeWalt 30 ft measuring tape has become my go-to for all my projects. The standout feature is definitely the blade durability and standout length — it holds steady without bending, even when measuring solo. The rubberized grip makes it easy to handle, and the lock mechanism is smooth and secure. Whether you’re a professional or a DIY enthusiast, this tape measure delivers top-notch performance. Highly recommended!

This tape measure is very sturdy and seems like it will be very durable! It is a little on the heavy side, but I feel like that just makes it seem like better quality. A great purchase for our first home that will last many years!

Built like a tank, a bit heavy compared to others but easy to use and fits the job perfectly.

There's 12 inches in every foot. I have checked.

Love it. It even has all the fraction measurements.

Perfectly created where it exhibits confidence and measurements
