Tajima Tape Measure: GS-Lock 5 meters /16 feet

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.
