It's heavy, it's tough but it is bulky in a pocket you better have the belt holster with this model. I have used for nearly 30 years a model STANLEY 30-131 snow gauge with a tape 3 meters including 7 years of professional intensive use. Wear a first clear graduations at direct playback before the tape does not break at the rivets. This model seems there still bill while being thicker and wider. When the reading direction, simply get used to use "upside" for right and direct reading become effective without inconvenience.
