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! :-)

I use it to measure irregular objects and it does the job. Durable, doesn't stretch and a good value. Te material doesn't scratch fine surfaces.

I was looking for a tape measure made 'the traditional' way, with a grommet at the end for hanging it up. I specifically purchased this measure because the picture (at least at the time I bought it) showed a model with a grommet hole. Instead, I got what I was trying to avoid, which is, a tape measure with no easy way to hang it. Since this matters to me, it gets a 2-star. Actually, it's just another aspect of the race-to-the-bottom that has become an epidemic among sewing notions manufacturers. I'm sure they save at least 1/10 cent by tweaking the traditional tape measure end for the worse.

Contains Lead!!!
It clearly states that this product contains lead. It would've been nice to know this before I ordered it. You have to handle it to use it, exposing yourself to lead.
