Customer Reviews

Finding a good tape measure is really challenging. After years of searching, I finally found Tajima tape measures. Tajimia is a high quality Japanese construction tool maker and their tape measures are awesome.

The biggest issue with most tape measures is that little hook on the end. That hook is suppose to move the exact thickness of the metal it is made out of so it measures the same if you are hooking it on something or butting it up against a something. Closing the tape measure rapidly bangs the end hook against the body of the tape measure eventually causing the movement to be greater than its suppose to be and creating error in your measurements. Tajima tape measures are specially designed to prevent this and remain accurate for a lifetime of use.

ABS body with a shock resistant rubber coating.
16 foot long by 1 inch wide tape.
Extra thick steel tape (.006") is stiffer than standard tapes.
Tape coated with advanced Hyper-Acry-Coat.
Quadruple riveted end hook.
Cushioned end hook return.

Great tape

Have seen Rob use this on YT videos. I am very impressed with the tape, very durable appearing, but it remains early days. Like Rob has done, I removed the very protective outer (black) rubber lining, as I keep this in my shop apron, and the rubber lining makes it significantly larger, and creates some friction, making it difficult to remove from my apron pocket (a RC apron BTW). I may buy another after testing this one, for non-apron use, and will then leave the outer rubber lining intact. It was difficult cutting it off on my brand new beautiful tape! Really like the double sided number marking on the tape.

Tajima 16ft tape measure

As always you get what you pay for. You can count on Rob Cosman to put tools through their paces and test them out before he sells them. Best tape measure I have ever had. Thanks Rob

Good quality tape measure

seems well build and accurate.

Tajima Tape Measure

Super nice to use! Feels great in the hand, accurate, retract is smooth, blade lock holds tight and is easy to use.
The only thing I've found so far is the hook guard does a great job of protecting the hook which is very important but doesn't allow it hook onto an edge without pulling it out with your finger. Only reason I gave it a 4 star review. Other that that it's a five

Always in my apron!

The tape is easy to read and use. It has a durable cover and is a good size to fit in your hand. Use it daily.
