GATORTAPE Curtain Claw for Precision Curtain Drop Measurements | Additional Item for Top Reading Tape Measure

The measure is good and is easy to use and read; however, if you are working up ladders or from any height I would highly recommend you use a Stanley or Dewalt tape measure. I think if this fell on to a hard surface you would be faced with picking up bits of plastic, it's very hard plastic, there is some softer stuff at the edges to help protect it but I really can't see this standing up to the abuse one of the other on site measuring tapes get. I would like to see some testing done by the manufacturing showing how sturdy it really is; for me I'd be afraid to take it up step ladders let alone any higher. Considering the price it's not cheap you could probably buy 4 or more of the mainstream measuring tapes, I purchased the holster/belt clip at another extorted price. I really think this should come as part of the tape and not another expenditure! If you want to carry it you will need the holster, unlike the Stanley it won't just slip in your pocket. All in All not the best tool I've bought this year and I'll be surprised if it's still in my tool box by next year. If you are a blinds fitter and are only going to measuring inside windows to fit blinds as shown in the sales video, then yes this will be perfect, but for any where you need to be on a scaffold or up ladders avoid this tool.

good tool

Great product but could do with magnets on the claw end.

I love this tape, so easy to use & allows you to measure in awkward places. Size is a bit cumbersome but it’s worth it.

I own a blind company and this is the best measuring device I have ever had. Even better than digital ones. It’s sad to say it’s a pleasure to use. Wouldn’t be without it!

stands upright handy for guage measures

Really great tool for measuring, very accurate but a little bit too bulky especially for hard to access areas.

After using the measure for 10 minutes I found that the tape was of poor quality and unable to measure top reveals over 1.2 meters without the tape bending.This measure was advertised that you could measure up to 2.8 mts without an issue this would be the case if the measure was sitting on the floor or windows cill.Overall please upgrade the quality of the tape and this may turn out to be a good product
