Great robust tape, have used it everyday at work and fit it useful. The measurements on the tape are easy to read. The lock function on the tape is strong. Unlike other brands.
Still using it and still working like the day that I received it

Seems to be a very nice tape. Bright and easy to read. Quick to snap back and strong. As well as the added bonus of very strong magnets on the end.

Amazing tape measure. Quality built and tough.

This tape measure looks and feels like good quality. I have been using this for a while now and can't fault it, the magnet is strong and better than other brands I have used in the pass. I like the fact that you have the measurements on both sides. I would highly recommend this tape measure to others and will only ever use this brand going forward.

It’s a good tape. A lot more features than the standard and with it being double sided it can be very accurate even in awkward situations. The magnets are good for solo measuring

Beat tape measure ever used, clear to read, magnetic tip, and measurements on both sides, the only down side to it is it’s quick wide to fit in your pocket,
Apart from that it’s the best

Over all good tape measure, however a auto stop feature without the use of the stop button would be handy. Build quality is really good. Feels robust.

One of the lucky 50! Can’t really gauge value for money. What I have been totally taken by is the highly visible blade, having only used it for a handful of occasions the Hi Viz Blade has really been fantastic in dark gloomy areas. The tape it’s self is double sided, nice robust pocket clip. The leading edge/front of tape has been well made and strengthened, the tape stop/tip has two magnetic incorporated into it, like with any magnet make sure it’s clean before using it don’t want to scratch anything.

Top tape measure. You will struggle to find another one built better than this. Very strong. Will withstand many drops. The pull out tape is very bright so very useful if your eyesight isn’t the best. The people who made this did a brilliant job. Top marks.

Best tape measure I've owned. Easy to read in low light. The magnetic end is strong enough to hold up the tape measure. It manages to support itself for 2.3m which is really helpful when trying to measure something at high level.
Review for Komelon PowerBlade™ II Pocket Tape by DAJ
16th June 2022
So, I’ve had this tape for a few weeks now, giving it a good use, putting it through its paces against my current tape measure. Namely the Milwaukee stud 5m metric.
Build quality so far I cannot fault, the body has withstood all I’ve thrown at it, sometimes literally.
The reel is still as quick and sure as it was out of the package.
The blade shows some small amount of wear on the edge where it’s scraped against a few surfaces while measuring out.
Ease of use is a little hard to give as I have a powerful dislike of metric and imperial tape measures. But the blade is highly visable, readable on both sides on the odd occasion that is has been useful, it’s not been useful yet but I manufactured a scenario where it was.
My metric tape has markings on both sides as well, and while it seems a handy feature, I’ve not found a legitimate use for it as of yet.
A very good, strong, magnet. Helped retrieve a few tools that dropped off the stepladder.
The size of it compared to other 5m tapes is quite small, a good haha apply pocket size where others can feel cumbersome.
Overall a very good tape but I’ll be holding out for a metric only in the future.

Great product from Komelon. Build quality is superb with that it isnt the lightest tape, feels great in hand with a good recoil. You get roughly 2.2m of reel out before it gives. The double sided markings make ease of use great and is clearly visible from distance. The power blade come in very handy for scoring plasterboard . Great value for money and a tape that feels like it will last

Never though I would get excited about a tape measure lol but this is a nice light and well made tape a very strong Blade witch is easy to read due to large clear measurement markers in metric and imperial. And it's on both sides of the tap so easy to read from any angle. It's bright coloured blade has safe rounded edges so no more sliced fingers. The extension is impressive 2.4 meters without additional support, the tape end is strong and has 2 powerful magnets and a good hook end. It's not heavy has a good belt clip and feels comfortable in the hand . All round a great addition to my tool box.

9th June 2022
This is an exceptional tape measure. It has metric and imperial markings that are clear and easily read due to the hi Vis blade. The marking are on both sides of the tape so, no matter which angle your at, you get the correct measurement every time.
The tape is very sturdy and well built with a good clip on the back to secure it to your belt or pocket.
The foot of the tape has two strong magnets and is a good size to allow hooking on easily.
When I tested mine, I managed to extend the tape just over 2.4 m outwards before the blade folded.
This is by far the best tape I've used.

magnetic tip is good enough to stay fixed to objects but not so powerful that it grabs onto everything in its path.

Hi, I'm Phil from Stokes Heating. Today I'm doing a review on the Komelon Powerblade II, the 8-metre tape measure. Quite a few points to grip on, top, bottom and you got magnets on the front. The magnets aren't quite that powerful, but they do come in handy in situations that need it. Clear numbers, high-vis tape it says. The ones on the bottom have worn off quite a bit from being taken in and out. First one that we had, my wife lost after using it in the house, so I bought a second one.
Second one again was used in the house and it got taken out to seven metres, although it says eight, went to seven and just wouldn't go back in. So this one's been cut down just so I could do the review. I don't think I would buy another one because I have had better ones that lasted longer. But it's handy to use, easy to lock off. The numbers are nice and big and there's plenty on both sides that come in handy. So I like the concept. It just didn't hold up to what I needed. Thank you Tool Talk for sending it to me. I'll see if I can get something different in the future.
Hi guys. Black Country Al, Fitzgerald Electrical & Plumbing Solutions, just doing a quick Tool Talk review on a Komelon tape measure. I've been using the Komelon tape measures now for a few years. Picked one up about three or four years back and found they're quite robust. Decent price as well for the quality of it. And I've been going now, using him for quite a few years, like I said. Changed my last one about a year or so back when the tape eventually broke, but took some break; I think it got jammed somewhere.
I've got the eight-metre PowerBlade and I've also got another eight-metre PowerBlade that I use. But today I'm doing a review on the five-metre PowerBlade with the hi-vis blade. And the five-metre, straight away I've noticed, fits in your hand brilliant. It's nice and compact. Still chunky and it's got this rubber coating around it to protect it from knocks and bangs. I mean my other one's been knocked and banged obviously over a period of time, so obviously you get tile adhesive and things like that on it and whatnot. But yeah, if you look after them, they do last you quite a while.
The tape itself, it's coated so it's nice and strong. The hi-vis blade is brilliant because even when the light's a bit iffy, you can still pick out the numbers on there nice and clear. It's on the back as well, so if you're doing any vertical measurements you can check the back as well if you can't see the front sometimes if you're holding it in an awkward position. Magnetic end, so it can lock against anything metal if you want to hook it on. If there's only you and you ain't got anybody else to measure, that becomes a bit easier. A nice big hook on the end there to hold it.
The lock on it is brill. It's nice and solid and it stays where you want it to. And like I said, the five-metre, I haven't had a five-metre before. The eight-meter's probably the biggest I would go to 'cause of the size, 'cause of fitting it in your hand, but eight metres if you ever need it. Not that often, but this five metre one is perfect. The size is great and just stick it in your pocket if you're going in to measure up for a job, to do a quote or something, it's perfect, ideal.
Like I said, I've been using these now for a few years and I think they're bulletproof; they're sound. And for the money, they're great value. Compared to others that you can pay 30, 40 quid a tape measure for, these are a lot better value for just as good quality, if not better in some respects.
Yeah, good bit of kit. Would definitely recommend one. PowerBlade II this one is by Komelon. Go for it.
Hi, this is John from JPC Plumbing and Heating. I'm giving a tool talk review on the Komelon Power Blade two eight metre tape measure. I think this is just an excellent piece of kit to have in the toolbox. It's robust, you drop it doesn't harm it at all. The mechanism works fine. Really handy piece of kit this. It's probably the best type measure I've had. I've had Stanley's, I've had other brands and the ones you get free from the merchants. This is the best. Really smooth mechanism. Never gets hinged up when it's extracted fully out and want it to go back in. Sturdy locking mechanism, nice rubber bumpers around it. Really clear markings on the tape both sides. Makes measuring a bit easier sometimes and very clear. Not overly big, but not overly small end piece with magnets that help when you're measuring. I can't fault it. It's a great addition to the tool bag list. So I'd like to thank Tool Talk for allowing me the opportunity to test this and give a review. And thanks again. Bye.
This is my review of the Komelon Powerblade II. I've been using this now for a couple of weeks, mostly in a landscaping, gardening context. And some of the things I really like about it is first of all, feels really strong, it's metal, not plastic I think like some of the cheaper ones, it's got nice rubber grips, so you're not going to drop it if you're working outside on the site in rain or in the cold, you're not going to lose that. Nice and chunky as well, you're not going to lose it. And the key thing I like the most actually is the high vis colour on the tape itself so you can see that even in low light levels, sometimes I'm working outside and when it starts to get dark, you can still see your measurements nice and clearly when measuring up fence panel or something like that. It's been working fantastic for me and much, much better than the one that I had before. So I very highly recommend it.
Hi guys, Scott here again. Expert Trades have very kindly sent us this wee tape measure from Komelon. It's a good wee thing, there's a few good features on it. Nice and sturdy, but let's see what we can do with it.
First up, one of the wee features I love about this, you can stick it onto the boiler, on to the cover and go wherever you want. As you can see, it's extremely bright. It's high vis tape. Another wee feature I like, if you happen to be reversing arse about face, it's also on the back, which is a great thing. The grab on it is universal both sides. It's very, very strong. It's actually quite good for marking because of the wee ridges on it. For scoring someones it's great. The only down side of that edge is it's not going to work too well for the Malteser game. It's going to fall off the end.
The only problem I've found is my wife found it, and now she knows what size that really is and doesn't believe me of anything anymore. As you can see, the case, it's quite sturdy. It's very, very robust. Nice and shiny so you can shame all the other ones with the yellow and black tape measures. For my view, this is one of the best tape measures I've seen in a long time.
Hi, Tony Lewis here A.L. Plumbing and Heating. Just going to give you a quick review on the Komelon Powerblade II tape. First impressions, very good. Rubberised case on the outside, so it's got protection if it drops to the floor. Nice locking chrome. Good wide clip for clipping onto your trousers. And clips are nice. Holds there nicely as well. Very good on that. Looks like it's well put together. It's light, but feels sturdy and strong, so that's good. The markings, 27mm blade, and the markings are metric and Imperial. And the thing that's really good is it's on both sides of the tape, so if you're in an awkward place where you can't see the tape very well, you can see from either sides. It seems to be luminous as well, so it'd be probably light up a bit in the dark. I'm In the light at the moment.
The thing I like is, it's got good rounded edges, so if you're bringing the tape back in and your finger catches on the edge, you don't get any cuts because it's smooth and rounded. And the important thing for us when we're trying to measure something and there's only one of you there is how far will the tape go before it drops over. And at the moment I'm there now, that's still going. I'm at 2.4. Yeah, 2.4 metres before she tips over, so that's good. The end's got a clip so you can hook it underneath, or you can hook it over the top, so that's good, because some places you can't get in the way you want. Yeah, all in all good type. Love it.
Hi, this is Andy Bennett from Bennett's Safe Gas. This is a Tool Talk review on behalf of Expert Trades, wearing my pin there. This is for the Komelon high vis blade. It's got high vis blade, magnets, just as you'd expect on a tape measure. It's the five meter, 16 foot edition. Let's go and give it a try, and then I'll come back and see what it's like.
Hi, this is Andy Bennett from Bennett's Safe Gas, and I've been reviewing this Komelon tape measure for the last day or so. I've been calling it chameleon for quite a while. It's the five meter, 16 foot edition. It's a nice tape measure, it has two hooks as you can see that there. One is on the top, one is on the bottom and they do both move to give it the correction when you're using it, you can back it up to a wall. It's got 73mm, I'm not going to say the inches because I don't use it. So if you back the tape measure into a wall, it does that. But if you do back it to a wall and if you can see when it's flat on a surface, it doesn't quite touch. This is a bit more proud, not ideal. And having its 73mm, if you're going to go big, why not add an extra seven mil and just make it 80? So it's an easier number instead of 73. Make it a little bit smaller to 70. Yeah, that's what I've always found that a little bit weird.
Rubber coating, it's nice. It will bounce a bit. It is heavy compared to others. It is not being weak, but if you're anybody that's going to put this clip on the side of your trousers, it's going to be hanging and pulling down. Not a fan of that. The hi vis, yeah it's good. Measurements on the bottom, also good. Yeah, I do like that. It does help. It does lock in place. It's got good. I have extended it out and I can get it to, is it 2.3 metres hanging before it breaks the bend and comes raving back up. And I've also used the magnet on the end, that's quite good.
I've stuck it to a flat surface. Just walked through the tape measure, pulling it. I've got 3.8 metres. That's fairly good. I mean, you can make it last longer by pushing down there the end and pulling on it and holding it gently. So it will go good distance, so the magnet on the end is fairly good. But if you're a plumber like us and it's in your box and there's any kind of metal Swarth, it's going to stick to it. So you're going to be finding yourself, cleaning it off before you use it. All in on I do like it, it's a nice tape measure. I probably will stick with this. Obviously, if it's available in more places. Because when you break your tape measure, you need one. So it's just trying to find it or having the foresight to buy more than one at a time. Okay, thanks.
Hi everyone. This is Tool Talk. My name is Ben Curry from Electrical Innovations, electrician over in Derby. Today I'm going to be viewing these Kamelon tape measures. Chameleon? Comilon? I don't know how you say it. Anyway, it's a PowerBlade II, and you'll have to excuse the selfie cam. It's all being backwards. You'll have to take my word for it. It's a five metre tape measure in that. I've seen these on Expert Trades in the Facebook group, people saying they were the favourite tape measure of choice and I'd not thought any more of it. You know, things just go over your head on Facebook nowadays. Everyone's saying the best of everything. And then I saw them on a trade counter and I needed a tape measure so I thought I'd pick one up. So I haven't been disappointed. They've been pretty good. They quite robust and I say they 'cause I actually picked up two of them. And they were quite cheep as well. I think they were less than a tenner each. Obviously local prices may vary, but what I like about them is the solid.
When you drop them, not gonna break 'cause they're pretty hard metal, plastic and rubber. The tape measure itself has got numbers and letters, both sides, inches, millimetres, and all the rest. Both sides so you can see what's going on. Nice in black and yellow so you know I like that [inaudible 00:01:20]. It's got an orange stripe with green stripes on the label so you can actually see it when it's in your tool bog. Yeah. Really good. Super boring thing to talk about isn't it. Tape measure. What's the best tape measure. Actually they're really good and when other people see 'em, they say, "You got a tape measure I can borrow?" And you hand them one of these, they always go, "mm, fancy." So nine times out of ten that's the sign of a good tool when people are like, "mm fancy." Yeah. I like it. It's got a magnetic thing on the end so you can have tape measure wars and you can see who's got the strongest tap measure.
Also means when you're going like that, you can stick it to if you're measuring something metal. If you're measuring to, like a kitchen unit, you can magnetise it to the nearest screw on there or something like that. Actually if you look at ... I've got a like van window now. Don't worry I'm not parked on the road, there's nothing coming. They've got quite a bit of ... What's that? Do you see that? 80 inches, two metres. It's got ... You can go quite some distance, still going. Two and a half metres, there's two and a half and 2.8. Oh. That was pretty extreme wasn't it. 2.8 metres before it wound back in. Yeah. It's pretty good. Can't go over too much [inaudible 00:02:49]. So that's the Kamelon, I'm terrible with this aren't I, PowerBlade II. I've been Ben Curry and you've been watching ToolTalk. Thanks a lot.
