Based on my experience, the tape measure is a great addition to any industrial and scientific setting .It is sturdy and durable, able to withstand even the toughest jobs. The measurements are very accurate, making it easy to get the job done right the first time. However the tape measure may be a bit heavy for those WHO need to use it for extended periods of time. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone in need of a reliable tape measure for their dimensional measurement needs..
