Review on Measuring Measure Retract Closure Multicolor by Josue Porter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Happy Meal Toy Quality

I once paid a few dollars more for a quality American made metal tape measure that can be used for handy chores. I love using this tape measure because you can see it was made by people who took pride in their work and valued quality. I like to use it again and again. THIS "Body Tape Measure" DOES NOT APPLY to this type of product. This "body tape" is a barely working, very cheap piece of plastic. This is a quality toy by Happy Meal standards. It resembles a McDonald's Happy Meal toy from the late '90s. Just a very thick piece of cheap plastic with a spring that's about to break. The idea is to pull the band out of the plastic mechanism, wrap it around your arm (or waist, etc.) and snap the loose end of the band into place. Stick the tape into a plastic holster and then press the button to tighten the tape around your arm so you can see circumference/circumference with just one hand. There are two problems with this device in the context of this process: 1. The pullback is weak. He is so weak that he hardly wants to be drawn into it. It works. But I was surprised at how weak he was. I was expecting it to be softer than a regular metal tape measure since you're attaching it to your body, but the retraction of this device is so weak that it's becoming difficult to even get it to retract, if anything at all caught. . Kind of funny.2. This is the design's biggest drawback: the end of the strap won't stay in place when you tighten the loop. The holster for the end of the ribbon you need to create the loop is very shallow and there is nothing in the shape of the cutout to keep the ribbon from slipping out. Measuring with one hand requires awkwardly holding the end of the tape measure with your finger while pressing the button with your other finger. Note. The tape is really good. Nice soft plastic. Almost feels the fabric. I can't say anything bad about the band. The second cassette comes in a small box, which is very nice.
