Review: Durable tape measure with a good cause - The Spec Ops Tools 25-foot tape measure is solid and feels military-grade. The 1" double-sided blade is easy to read, and the composite case is tough yet lightweight. The 25-foot length covers most jobs, and I like that 3% of proceeds go to veterans. A reliable and well-built tool for both professional and DIY use.
Review: Good deal and easy to use - Smooth operation and easy to use. Haven't dropped one yet so can't say how durable they are, but they appear to be on par with any other good quality tape measures

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable tape measure with a good cause
*by M***Y on August 24, 2025*

The Spec Ops Tools 25-foot tape measure is solid and feels military-grade. The 1" double-sided blade is easy to read, and the composite case is tough yet lightweight. The 25-foot length covers most jobs, and I like that 3% of proceeds go to veterans. A reliable and well-built tool for both professional and DIY use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good deal and easy to use
*by K***G on December 19, 2025*

Smooth operation and easy to use. Haven't dropped one yet so can't say how durable they are, but they appear to be on par with any other good quality tape measures

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the tape, but not the casing....
*by T***N on February 5, 2024*

Ive been using these tapes now for the better part of 6minths and even after many drops they still operate like the day I got em. I find these tapes really durable and easy to read - the tape itself is highly visible and readable even inow light conditions, which I love. The casing is very durable - I've dropped the tape from as high as 16ft onto concrete several times (by accident) and there's been no issues with the casing cracking or the tape failing to retract. My only beef with this tape measure is that the dark colored casings certainly do not stand out in my toolbox or around the shop when I'm looking for it..they're impractically camouflaged. I keep one in the door of my truck and it just blends into the black trim. I have neuropathy so I even struggle locating it in the tool bag on my hip sometimes if lighting in the workspace isn't perfect. Hoping they do something about this because the tape is one of the best I've found in durability and readability, have already lasted way beyond brand names I've used like DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc. for as visible as the tape is, the casing should also get the same attention with a a more visible color scheme.
