## Description

Product Description Komelon 4912IM The Professional 12-Foot Inch/Metric Scale Power Tape, Yellow From the Manufacturer The Komelon 4912IM The Professional 12-Foot Inch/Metric Scale Power Tape comes from a high quality line of tape measures. The line features a 12 ft./3.5m x 5/8-inch, 16ft./5m x 3/4-inch, 25ft./7.5m x 1-inch, and 30ft./9m x 1-inch tape measures. The Professional inch/Metric series offers an ergonomically designed case and superior internal mechanisms insuring smooth operating. This is the ideal tape measure for anyone using a metric measuring scale.

Review: metric and (ugh) imperial - Since the US is still archaic with measurement standards, it's still necessary for me to include the antique inches/feet measurements when I want to measure all my own projects (and from international blueprints) in much more sane metric standards. This Komelon is cheap and durable and gets the job done, providing excellent value. It isn't crazy compact, but it's not unwieldly either, with all the basic features most measuring tapes now come with.
Review: Accurate to within 1mm at full length, cheap, and compact! - I've always wondered about the real accuracy of inexpensive tape measures like this. I happen to have access at work to a Starrett tape (model no. 530-30cm) calibrated by Starrett. It's about an $105 tape, no idea what calibration costs. I ran it out to 3.5m and compared it to this little tape and you can see how closely they match. It's certainly good enough for my own use around the house! The size is great to carry and the build quality seems to be acceptable for something this price. I am not a professional contractor, in which case I would probably prefer something with a steel housing, I just like building things at home and doing projects around my house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have the Mm and Inch measurement??**
A: Purchased on April 2017  - was only in Inchs, no metric measurements accept 3.5m on the front. Misleading to say the least.

**Q: Does this include fractional inch marks? The picture suggests there are none.**
A: I think Sheila is answering the question for a different measuring tape. I just rec'd mine. I almost didn't order it based on her answer. I am glad I did. As Ray Brazil answered, it is your standard 1/16", 1" and 1' out to the stated 12'.

**Q: How has the locking mechanism held up over time?**
A: I have this exact model, and I loved it... until the lock completely broke. After only average to low usage, over 2-3 years. Only one I've had break, even among plenty questionable no-namers and freebies. It will not lock at all anymore, tape always retracts (only slightly slowed if locked). I've taken it apart, and the lock mechanism (you can partly see it in one of product photos) is plastic, thin, and not worthy of fixing (if even possible). Komelon does not sell the part (ha), nor did they offer to replace the unit. That tells me everything I need to know. Thanks for asking (five years ago).

**Q: How far can you pull it out before it bends over?**
A: If you’re not supporting the tape with your second hand, it starts arching at around 40” (1m) and buckles at around 55” (1.4m). This translates practically in being able to measure with some accuracy up to about 100” (2.5m) while using your second hand as support.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing compact measure at low price
*by K***I on January 23, 2026*

the end having play is annoying as others pointed out, but what you get for the price is amazing. Can't believe how compact and good quality the product at this price point. Having imperial and metric marks is great too. Def recommend.
