SINGER 00258 Extra Long Vinyl Tape Measure, 96-Inch

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.

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.

NICE

Solid measuring tape: the tape is durable and flexible and the print is easy to read.

Pretty standard, good quality, measuring tape. I do wish it came with a little case to prevent constant unraveling when not in use, like some others, but for the price point it’s still a good product.

Does what its intended for, i have no complaints

I use this for a lot of measurements of odd shapes that metal rulers and tapes just cant handle. Be sure to buy one longer than you ever think youll need!

This is a great tape measure. It’s flexible and easy to use. No issues

It’s a tape measure. Kinda hard to screw up. That said, this one is good. I like the 8’ length, the LARGE dual units of measure and the metal tabs on the ends. Wish it was cloth instead of vinyl. I’d buy it again. Thanks for reading.

I lined this up to two other accurate tapes and this was identical. The only caveat being after the first inch which is standard for almost every tape measure. As a warning for those uninitiated; tape measures are not accurate the first inch due to the various metal tabs or sewing on the ends. You should always start at inch 1 or 12 depending on your needs. Mine was 1/32 off, which does not sound like much, but you need to take that into consideration. Again, this is the same for all tape measures. Also, the kinks of being folded in the packaging were straightened within a day of being rolled up in my junk drawer. Singer makes great products, Ive never been steered wrong.
