Tape Measure for Body Measuring Tape for Body Measurements Tape Tailor Clothing

I lost a lot of weight the past 6 months and it was time to get new shirts so I needed to measure myself. I needed a tape measure that can give me my neck and chest size but did not want to pay a lot of money for it since I will be using it rarely. This was perfect for me because it retracts and can just put it in a drawer without it getting wrapped around things and it is very accurate and easy to read. I don't think that professionals would use such a thin tape measure but it is perfect for home use. The retraction mechanism is a bit loud when you pull the tape out but if you press the button as you pull it, it works great and it retracts quickly. For this price, it makes sense to have it around the house.It also helps when measuring curved surfaces that I need to cover with cell foam sheets.

Purchased it to get my body measurements. I have been ordering clothes online and they have charts sizes which are helpful (if accurate) as a guide in choosing the size. Its accurate. The housing is made of plastic and seems sturdy, small and pocketable. it has a button on the center which you can press to release and retract the tape. if you pull the tape without pressing the button it gives you a clicking sound every inch you pull. retraction is fast and the tape does not tangle. the tape is made of soft plastic thingy which is nice to get measurements of your curves :-). its very handy and nice to have for personal use.

There are countless tape measures that look identical to this one, yet most of them are only 30 or 40 inches, making them just a bit too short to be useful for measuring some things. This one is a full 60 inches, yet it's identical in size and weight, so it still fits perfectly into my pocket.To make it fit into such a small case the tape is slightly thinner, but it's still very strong and durable. I was a bit skeptical about the black background at first, but I've gotten used to it. It's different, but still easy to read.In my case, I'm not using it for body measurement or clothing. I like to bring a small tape measurer with me when I shop for certain items like desks, filing cabinets, etc., so I get a sense of how they'll fit in my home.

I try to save 5 stars for perfect products. This product is overall pretty excellent so far. I have only used it one time though.This tape measure has a locking mechanism that clasps roughly every 1 and 1/3 inch making it simple to get the length you need without having to mess with a really long strip. The retracting part of the tape measure is pretty strong and if you let it retract without holding onto it, it whips in pretty fiercely and kind of stung a bit as it whipped my arm on the way in! I consider this a pro but if used like this frequently, it could cause damage to the product. The band was easy to work with and easy to read with an inches layout on one side and centimeters on the flip side. There button to retract the band is easy to press and in a convenient spot but not so easy and convenient that you have to worry about pressing it while taking measurements.Overall, the only issue I had was that the locking system is only one way. What I mean when I say this is that the lock will not prevent you from pulling the tape measure out, just from it retracting back in. This made it a very small nuisance to work with beings as what seemed comfortable to me when measuring was to hold the tape measure by the units cage. This caused me to pull additional length of band out when measuring which made it difficult to get the band to stay tot. This can be fixed by simply holding the band but I didn't want the cage to hang and put extra stress on the bands locking mechanism. I can't say for sure if this will cause faster wear on the product over a period of time but isn't much of a concern to me as I don't plan on using it very frequently.Overall - Excellent product

When it recently came to my attention that some reviews on major websites can be bought or faked easily, I decided that I needed to do my part in sharing honest feedback about products that I have ordered and actually use, since I rely so heavily on reviews when making purchases online. This tape measure is one of my most recent purchases (New Year's resolutions of losing weight and all). It does its job well! It is made of plastic but seems sturdy. It clicks out with each inch and stays out until you press the side button to retract the tape, which is a cool feature in my opinion. I tested the accuracy against an old ruler we had lying around and it is accurate (The photo doesn't do the accuracy justice because of the angle I took the photo at. In person, it is very clear how accurate the measuring tape is, but I thought I would include that photo anyway). I like it, and I will update my review if that changes any time in the near future!

While at home during quarantine, I decided to start my weigh-loss journey. The only thing I’ve used to track my progress of workout was just the scale and taking before and after pictures.After viewing multiple YouTube videos of others using measuring tape to measure out their results, I decided it was time to get one myself.This product works wonders! I love it! It’s lightweight, small, user-friendly! I can name a lot more lol! To sum it all up, it’s perfect for whenever I need to measure my body; as well as to measure any essential household items!

I don’t use this for tracking biceps or waistlines—I keep it stashed in the driver’s door of my car (see photo). It’s my backup tool when I’m out sourcing decor and need to quickly check dimensions on vases, frames, or artwork before pulling the trigger.The retractable mechanism works cleanly, the markings are easy to read, and it’s small enough to go unnoticed until it’s needed. For something so simple, it’s saved me from more than one “looks smaller in-store” mistake. Essential if you shop with precision.— Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign
