I bought this to measure out the pitching distance and bases for my son's Little League games. The kids help me measure out the proper distances and it's in the dirt all the time. It's relatively light, sturdy, easy to use (the kids can do it), and gives me more than enough distance I couldn't get with my regular metal tape measure. I recommend this if you need more distance than you can get in the belt clip on variety.

This very affordable tape feels rugged, and winds an unwinds smoothly. I thought the tape might get tangled at long lengths, but it lays pretty flat and is easy to read on both the English and Metric sides. The end teeth take a good bite and keep things anchored while unspooling. Well worth the $12 for those times when your standard 25 foot tape won't do, like measuring landscaping jobs or laying out sport courts on the beach, and it shrugs off a little sand and saltwater with no worries, unlike a metal tape. I haven't checked its accuracy against any other measure, but I don't need anything more than the nearest inch in general anyway.

A great product for the price. I admit I was expecting "cheap" plastic etc. but I was wrong! I have already recommended to several friends that they purchase one of these tapes.
