Shinwa Tough Gear Tape Measure with Auto Stop 5.5m/25mm Reviews

5 Rating 4 Reviews
Read Workshop Heaven Reviews

Shinwa Tough Gear with Auto Stop is my new favourite tape measure with it's clever auto stop function. No need to press a button to keep it in place - simply pull out to the desired length and the tape locks itself securely in place. To release or adjust, just press the button to retract the tape when you're finished. An integral shock absorber reduces impact and ensures a smooth movement.
The comfortable yet rugged construction of high-quality materials ensures it can withstand heavy-duty use and endure harsh working conditions, resistant to drops, impacts, and wear, making it the go-to choice for work or home.
Although the blade stand out isn't quite as good as a Fit Gear, the Tugh gear is still an excellent tool for easy, accurate measurements and unmatched durability whether you're measuring large-scale construction projects or small household tasks.

This Shinwa AutoStop is good and its ergonomoc design ensures it is neither released accidently nor fiddly to apply. So nice that I will stick with the brand/design.

Bought to replace a few tape measures we have used over the years. On every one, the manual stop has failed eventually. The auto stop / manual release of the Shinwa makes using it so much easier. The thicker tape will also reach much further before collapsing.

Lovely rule. Tape extebds well and holds without flexing and the auto stop is really handy

Received my Shinwa tape measure today and I absolutely love it. The first thing I did was test the accuracy, which is excellent. By contrast a popular UK competitor is out by 1mm over 1000mm (on three different samples). My thumb is reflexively pushing down the lock button but there isn't one, it self locks and retracts with a push button. The tape is highly legible. The operation is silky smooth. I also like that it’s very stable standing up on edge. The belt clip - which I never use - is easily removed.
