Title: Excellent tape measure for really good price
Review: I could weep. This is one of the cheapest measures I own and it is far and away the best for outdoor measuring. Why have I been struggling all these years with ordinary reel tapes?You can stick it in soft ground and stays there if you don’t pull too hard. You can also use the claw end to hook over things and draw the reel away. Again, you need to be fairly gentle, but it beats using a tent peg through a loop on the end of the tape.The handle is particularly effective. You can reel the tape in without bumping your fingers and when the handle is folded over, it locks the tape in place so it doesn’t unreel accidently.Very pleased with this new toy! And yes, I do do a lot of measuring. 🙂

Title: Good for the price………….
Review: Ok, before we proceed with the review of this 30 Metre Open Reel Surveyor’s Tape from Silverline it is important to remember it’s RRP on Amazon of £7.38, and the fact that more often than not this price seems to be reduced further (I for instance purchased mine for £6.06).I highlight this not to excuse poor quality, but rather to make it quite clear that one’s expectations must be realistic before purchasing it; in other words to remind that you more often than not get what you pay for!I had been intending to buy a Surveyor’s Tape for some time, there are many job’s that just can’t be properly done with a tape measure or a digital range measure; from the start of choosing the right one for me I was struck by the range of both design, brand and price.I suppose the best way to buy any product is to decide on your criteria, mine was to have a Surveyor’s Tape of at least twenty metres, preferably of below ten pounds and from a brand I know, for it to be of a sufficient quality but at the same time take into account that as a keen DIYer it will not be used extensively and only be used occasionally.The Tape that seemed to best meet this list of requirements was the Silverline MT45, and so it was ordered.It’s quite lightweight, perhaps not as sturdy as I was expecting, and whilst the quality of build should be sufficient to withstand my intended use it will need to be treated with a degree of care. This is not to say it is delicate, it’s just that some of the components could have been manufactured to a higher quality; the winding handle in particular just doesn’t feel quite solid enough, a strange omission considering it’s role and the fact it will be the part of the tool that is likely to receive the most heavy use.The ‘tape’ itself feels of a good and strong quality, it’s waterproof and has measurements in both metric and imperial.The Surveyor’s Tape comes with a guarantee, and as is standard with all Silverline handtools it is a lifetime guarantee; it must be registered online within thirty days of purchase to be activated. This guarantee covers any breakages or damage that comes about due to a flaw in it’s manufacture, so this should perhaps go some way to reassuring those with concerns as to it’s quality.So to sum this Surveyor’s Tape up it does offer good value, and as long as you have realistic expectations you shouldn’t be disappointed; it is suitable for a fair amount of use, and if it is cared for appropriately it should last for some time.

Title: Easy to use. Good value
Review: Great value tape. Easy to read. Appears to be robust. Has a gripper at the end of the tape, making it easy to use single handed – just attach to fence, building etc., and walk backwards.

Title: Great quality for the price
Review: Used this to measure up our garden for some planning so wasn’t looking to spend a fortune as it will be rarely used afterwards. Was very impressed by the quality for the price, easy to use and the real action is great so cannot see us having any bother with this product at all.

Title: Cheap and cheerful – but does the job
Review: Not sure I would buy this if I were using it all day every day, but for my occasional use is perfectly adequate. Some have said it is flimsy, but but do you want for this price?

Review: negli anni per necessità professionali ho adoperato molte rotelle metriche da 10 e 20 mt. a partire da quelle telate e per finire con quelle in fibra.Ho anche avuto la disavventura di acquistare una rotella metrica in acciaio da 20 mt. !!! al primo uso una autovettura passò sopra al nastro e lo piegò irrimediabilmente.Che dire di questa rotella comprata per praticità (100 mt.), assolve il suo onesto lavoro senza pregi e senza difetti, ho provato a misurare la corrispondenza delle misure con la mia fedele rotella metrica da 20 mt. costata più del doppio di questa e corrispondono.Uniche pecche che ho riscontrato il fatto che nello srotolamento la manovella si muove e può incastrarsi nella posizione di trasporto; ed altra pecca che bisogna riavvolgere il nastro con attenzione perché si rischia di arrotolarlo piegato.Comunque ottimo rapporto qualità – prezzo.Sicuramente da consigliareAltro

Review: La uso para mediciones en el aire libre, en el campo, y me parece perfecta, Quizas en una obra o en una zona industrial no sea suficientemente resistente, pero en mi caso es perfecta. En un lado está en sistema métrico decimal y por el otro en el anglosajon (pulgadas), y no acaba en los 50 metros sinó en 51 metros.
