Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dritz(R) Lifetime Tape Measure - 5/8''x60'' White
Customer Review: Yikes! How do you review a tape measure?
Summary: 5 Stars
How do you review a tape measure? Why would you want to? Well, I'm the first review! The fortune of the entire company turns on what I say! The stock market waits with bated breath on my pronouncements...
And it seems sad that there's nothing in that section.
I ordered this product for body measurement - how big is my bicep, how fat is my belly, etc. I have no qualification to discuss how well this works if you're a tailor or seamstress, so I won't.
I checked the accuracy of the tape against several other measuring devices at home: two high-end rules (the three-sided engineering and architectural type, not the 2nd grade type), a carpenter's square, and a retractable tape measure. All agreed within a few smidgin's (a smidgin is just about 1/30 of an inch).
So it's accurate.
It's a nice soft tape, with metal ends. On end "starts" at 0 inches and begins measuring. There's maybe 2 inches of blank tape after 60 inches, and then the tape ends. The tape is printed on both sides. One side features standard inches only, in bigger print. The other side measures both inches and centimeters in smaller print.
Both sides start measuring at the same end. This means that the tape isn't "always ready," but with my luck I'd have the wrong side up, so no real problem there.
I'd like it if this product was 72 inches long instead of 60 - I've got big shoulders, and they're getting bigger. But this does what it's supposed to, and I can always buy another one and tie them together! :-)
Customer Review: Very useful
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this for around 2 months now and I've no complaints. It has inches on one side and metric on the other (which I'm very happy about since I'm used to metric). Does what it's supposed to and it's very useful. I like it.Customer Review: The perfect tape measure!
