Review on 📏 Body Measuring Tape - Tailor Clothing with Precision | Tape Measure for Accurate Body Measurements by Amy Mcleod

I'm trying to save 5 stars for perfect products. This product is pretty excellent overall so far. However, I've only used it once. This tape measure has a locking mechanism that closes about every 1 and 1/3 inches, making it easy to find the right length without fumbling with a very long strip. The retractable part of the tape measure is pretty solid and if you retract it without holding it it will whip quite hard and stab me a bit as it smacks my arm! I consider it professional, but using it too much could damage the product. The tape was easy to manipulate and read, with inch markings on one side and centimeter markings on the other. There the belt retraction button is easy to press and in a convenient place, but not so easy and convenient that you have to worry about pressing it during the measurement. Overall, the only problem I had was that the locking system only works in one direction. When I say this, I mean that the lock doesn't prevent you from pulling the tape measure out, only from pulling it back in. This made dealing with the creatures very tedious as I was comfortable holding the tape measure next to the cage when measuring. This caused me to pull out the extra length of the strap when measuring, making it difficult to keep the strap in place. This can be remedied by simply holding the band tight, but I didn't want the cage to hang and add extra stress to the band locking mechanism. I can't say for sure if this will cause the product to wear out faster over time, but I'm not overly concerned as I don't plan on using it very often. In general - an excellent product.
