SINGER 00258 Extra Long Vinyl Tape Measure, 96-Inch

This is the full 96 inches. 96 inches of vinyl tape measuring vinyl. Yes, I used the word vinyl twice. I think that is an important point. I cant remember why I bought this, but I did and now I own it. OK, clearly it is an effective product for measuring stuff but what in Gods good name did I buy a Singer 96-Inch Extra Long Vinyl Tape Measure for? For the life of me, I simply cant remember. I know you might not care, but I care. Not like I can just throw money away on things I dont need. I bought a car once and I cant even drive.

Markings are clear and readable. This isnt really worthy of Singer brand. It works but isnt the best tape I have used. It says it is made of fiber glass, I dont want to however test that with any heat tests. I think it is costly at this price point. You wouldnt regret the purchase but you wouldnt also be very excited that you bought it. There are some winding tapes with shells that you can consider unless you want something to put around your neck.

This is sturdy, arrived quickly and will be well used.

One of the other reviews stated that the band in the picture is a metal clip to keep the tape neatly folded. It is not a clip. It is a shiny piece of heavy paper. It looks nice, but it is meant to be discarded. The tape doesnt seem like cloth but it is as flexible as you would expect a cloth tape to be. It isnt stiff like cheaper tapes. It has inches printed on one side, centimeters printed on the other. The fact that it measures up to 96 inches rather than 60 is great considering much of the obese population of the US is pushing a 60 inch waistline now. My own is 64 inches, so the old standard of 60 just doesnt work anymore. I am losing weight and lately have been interested in tracking my progress. Before long I should be able to use a 60 inch tape, but it is nice to have one that will let me start where I am now, not where I would like to be in the future. When I am smaller, the great news is this tape will still work! Having centimeters is a benefit, since many things are more accurately sized in centimeters.

Perfect but way to long for my use. I returned it.

just what i needed

This is not going to be a long review since this product is about as simple as a product can get. I was looking to buy a premium leather jacket and needed a way to measure myself so I could get a perfect fit. This product fit the bill. It was inexpensive and worked great for that task. I will throw it with my tools now and hopefully find another use for it.

This is very easy to use and very easy to read, it is also really good quality doesn’t seem cheap.

I make dog leashes that are 6 feet. I got this because of the longer length. It is what you would expect from a tape measure. No slivers, no ends popping off. The only flaw is they dont show the feet marking so I just used a sharpie to create them just for ease. I am really glad to have this.

It is very long, and it does the job. Only reason I gave it a 4/5 is because it doesnt have a wind-up system or any way to store it so that it doesnt get too tangled. I just use a plastic band.
