Overview
The Komelon SL2825 is a 25 foot power tape with a push-button self-lock, a nylon coated steel blade and stud markings printed every 16 inches for framing layout.
The self-lock is the feature to notice here: pull the blade to length and it locks in place at the push of a button, instead of relying on a manual slide switch that can be bumped loose. Paired with stud markings every 16 inches, it is built with framing and general carpentry layout in mind rather than fine finish work.
- Push-button automatic self-lock
- Nylon coated high carbon steel blade
- Stud markings every 16 inches
- Impact-resistant ABS case with rubber over mold
Who it's for
Suits framers and general contractors who need the blade to hold a length reliably while marking, and who lay out studs on standard 16 inch centers. Less of a fit for anyone needing a specialty scale like diameter or metric-only markings.
Pros and cons
- Push-button self-lock holds blade length reliably
- Stud markings every 16 inches speed framing layout
- Nylon coated blade resists wear
- Impact-resistant case with rubber over mold
- No standout or reach spec given for one-person long measurements
Performance notes
The self-locking mechanism holds the blade at whatever length it is pulled to until the button is pressed again, avoiding the accidental retraction that a slide-lock tape can suffer mid-measurement. The nylon coating over the high carbon steel blade is meant to resist the surface wear and rust that comes from repeated dragging across framing lumber and concrete, while the stud markings every 16 inches speed up marking layout without separate calculations.
