Johnson Level & Tool 1828-0010 Metric/Inch Power Tape, 3m/10', Black/Yellow, 1 Tape

I needed a precise ruler for work that switches between metric and inch measurements, and the Johnson 1828-0010 has been perfect. Build Quality: Made of stainless steel, it feels solid and resists bending or warping. The edges are straight and true, with no sharp burrs. After weeks of use, there’s no sign of wear on the markings. Readability: The etched graduations are crisp and easy to read in both bright light and low workshop lighting. Having metric on one side and inch on the other saves time when working on mixed-unit projects. Accuracy: I checked it against a calibration ruler—measurements are dead-on. This gives me confidence when using it for fine woodworking, instrument repairs, or mechanical layouts. Convenience: Lightweight enough to carry in a tool bag but heavy enough not to slide around during use. The hole at one end makes it easy to hang on a pegboard for quick access. Bottom Line: If you need a reliable, dual-scale stainless steel rule that will last for years, this is a solid choice. Accurate, durable, and well-made—everything a good measuring tool should be.

This small tape measure is perfect for carrying around in your pocket. It is 10 feet long and is retractable. The cost for this item is very low compared to it's quality. It has metric and standard measurements on the tape. This tool is approved by my husband who is a jack of all trades and is very picky about his tools. Good Job Johnson Level & Tool.

Good build quality. Accurate in both push and pull. As other reviewers have noted it does NOT have printing on both sides as claimed. The seller should update the description. I don't care about that feature though, so still 5 stars from me.

Tape measure was great and exactly what I wanted. Whoever designed the plastic encapsulated packaging should be keel hauled and salted afterwards. WAY TOO complicated for a tape measure. Everything had to be cut out with a box cutter to access the tape measure. Really????

Likes: + Compact and useful. Just what I needed as a pickleball player. Sometimes I need to measure hand-drawn court lines or whether the net is regulation height. + Sleek, aesthetic black-and-yellow design. + Comfortable to hold and use. + The auto-retract button is efficient and useful. + I like that this tape measure is small enough to fit nicely in my pickleball bag, with plenty of room left to spare for all my other pb gear. + I also like that the tape hardens when situated at the right angle as needed, and loosens when held at a different angle. Very convenient. + The text on the tape measure is very legible. + Good value for the money.

I loved the first one so I bought a second one for my garage. I needed a tape that was metric. This fit the bill.

Good tape with 5/8" width. I had been looking for a metric/imperial tape measure for doing woodworking projects since some plans are metric. I purchased others which were only 1/2" wide which makes the numbers hard to read. Just moving up that 1/8" makes a big difference. Once you go up to 3/4" wide, the tapes are too long for most projects.

Working on cars in the garage all the time, I need a measuring device that can do metric so this is a must have in my shop & race trailer!

Excellent product

The rubberized case measuring tape is light weight making it easy to use. The tool has both metric and inperial measurements making it invaluable with projects requiring conversion of measurements.

Works for me. Very satisfied

No complaints as it is exactly what you would expected to be while the price was definitely appropriate. This product satisfied my needs completely and didn't break the bank so it gets a thumbs up from me.

very well made in china
