SINGER 00258 Extra Long Vinyl Tape Measure, 96-Inch

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.

Everyone should have one of these, especially if you sew. The standard 60 inch tapes are often not long enough and you have to measure in sections. If you are mathematically challenged as I am this tape is a boon. Of course it is made out of what seems to be heavy plastic so will last a long time.

Lets be honest...sometimes you need to measure something/someone larger than 60. The extra 36 come in super handy with this awesome tape measure from Singer. Singer has been a trusted brand of sewing products for years, and they have not skimped one bit on the quality of their products with this one. This is exactly what I was searching for...something soft, flexible, but still durable to take measurements with! I love that it comes in inches & centimeters, as is pretty standard.

Its yellow and it measures things Thats all I needed from it, right? To be honest, the color was just bonus.

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.

just what i needed

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.

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

Exactly what I wanted and love that it had both inches and cm.

great product
