SINGER 00258 Extra Long Vinyl Tape Measure, 96-Inch

It is a nice tape measure made of finer glass reinforced fabric (rather than vinyl) so there is a little risk of it stretching. However as others have noted the metal piece at the one inch end of the tape shortens the tape so that about 3/32 have to be added to every measurement. The SINGER brand used to be a guarantee of quality. It is a shame that is no longer the case.

I like how the numbers are in large 50 pt. bold font and that there is both imperial and metric measurements. The tape is satin and smooth and the edges are not rough, so the measuring is comfortable. For the price this measuring tape is a boon.

Esta bien

I began the ketogenic diet shortly before buying this. During times of a weight plateau, it was encouraging to see my body was shrinking even though the weight wasnt moving. I chose this tape measure because I was a big fat man with a 60-inch waist. If you are smaller, the regular size will probably work for you. The number on the scale feels good when it drops, but losing 8 inches around my waist feels just as good. If you have fat to lose, the scale is only part of the story.

A simple product that works well. I needed a flexible measuring tape for quick measurements around the house and for body measurements for certain custom designed African clothes. The $2 bucks is well worth it. The ends are terminated with metal so it wont fray apart. Having 96 inches is another plus (some are shorter lengths) and Im totally satisfied. EDIT [02-12-2019]: Okay, so Im back here to add additional commentary to my review a little bit because someone mentioned the FIRST INCH being short (where the metal terminates the tape). I re-checked my measuring tape and the FIRST INCH is OFF (or SHORT) by 1/16 of a inch. Then I went to the LAST INCH inch (where the metal terminates on the other end of the tape by the 96 inch mark) and it is OFF (or OVER) by 1/16 of a inch. So, while, I believe the whole tape should be accurate to scale, its NOT a deal breaker at all for me with such a very small incremental error. Just be aware of the FIRST INCH and the LAST INCH.

Buena calidad.

Very durable. Lots of uses.

This tape is sturdy, yet flexible. The numbers are large and easy to read. The extra length makes it easier to use than the standard 36 tape.

As advertised - good quality. The only negative is that the 1 inch mark is on the inside of the wound up tape making you unroll the entire tape to use it.

Easy to read!
