SINGER 00258 Extra Long Vinyl Tape Measure, 96-Inch

Love it shows exactly how much inches Im losing.

Perfect for sewing and also for woodworking when I need to measure around something to get an accurate measurement.

I am not a tailor and I am just tired of using a string to measure what I need and remeasure it with a metal tape measure, so I broke down and get a real one. I guess you could spend may a buck or two to get a cheaper tape measure, but for less than $5 you could get a great tape measure of high quality that would last a long time. This tape has metal caps on both ends so no worries if it will go bad. Bright yellow and clear black markings for both inches and centimeters, extremely flexible so it is a great tool to have. This is the tape measure that you would see wrap around some professional tailors.

Unlike what other reviewers has said about the first incb being cut off, mine is not. Works well, came fast, and easy to read and use.

Its good to have an extra-long tape measure around the house. This one is sturdy, easy to read, and just what I was looking for.

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.

I loved this tape it is nice to have the extra lenght as well.. I also see that it says that is fiber glass instead of Vinyl when you get the package.. but I have not had a problem with it.. I also accidently sniped in to the tape with my sissoirs when I was cutting tulle but it didnt tear and has not ripped any further then the tiny snip I made.. SO I think that it has done its job and will be pay for another one if needed in the future..

Overall good. Good price. Didnt like the smell coming out of that material. May be it ll go away in few days. Easily readable font and seems accurate

The first time I had a tape measure was in Junior High School home economics class :) But, I wanted one to keep tabs on my waist and hips. Theres just no way of really knowing your exact dimensions without using a cloth/vinyl tape measure. And its important, especially your waist size which I guess the specialist feel is a sign of having health issues if your mid section is over a certain measurement. Im glad I purchased it, and Im sure Ill get other uses out of it too.

I purchased this as a beginning sewer and to take my measurements for on-line clothes purchases. It is exactly what you would expect: 96 inches long and flexible. The metal ends and vinyl make the tape measure feel very durable. This should last me a long long time. I shouldnt have to repurchase one unless I loose it! Thanks for taking the time to read my review, and I hope you found it helpful in making a purchase decision.
