📏 DCT120 1" Perfect Diameter Circumference Tape Review

For the price this is not at all what I expected. Not smooth in either pulling or retracting. I have another cheap cartridge that came with the all in one kit and it seems much more substantial than the one that cost me A LOT more. For the price, they really must be working on more than just a good band, which it is. The shipping box is almost as important as the tape itself. If you ship it back you'll get some of those retractable sewing tapes that are really cheap but a fraction of the cost.

I ordered a Perfect Pi tape measure to replace another brand that I lost. When I received it I was surprised by the poor quality and lack of features. Cheap plastic case, more suitable for indoor use than for outdoor use I have. The band itself has a metal loop at the end; For outdoors, a hook would be more practical (to measure the diameter of trees). Other tape measures have locking mechanisms useful for one-handed use and hooks to attach one end to the object being measured. In my opinion…

Okay, I like this little guy. I tinker and tinker a lot and I can't tell you how many times I've needed a tape measure and either didn't have it with me or it was too small. This serves both as a tailor's tape and as a carpenter's tape. I like the loop at the end because theoretically I can attach it to something and go the required distance. The reel mechanism seems good and it has a screw on the body which seems to allow it to be taken apart if needed. The case itself is actually plastic…

This steel tape has metric and inch scales on the front. The back has metric and inch scales separated by pi. Place it on a flat surface and you can read inches and centimeters instantly. By wrapping it around a tree, one can read the back scale to get the diameter, which is the circumference divided by pi. Scales do not start at the end of the tape. Instead, they start a few inches from the end. I think this makes it easier to estimate the diameter under the crust, although it depends on the…

This is a 1/2 inch tape measure so I wasn't expecting too much. The markings are clear and easy to read, the case is thin plastic (how well it stands the test of time depends on the gorilla using it), its weakest point is the very thin tape and flimsy latch at the end - yes , It is as described but a bit thin. Probably good for light casual use. If you're looking for a cheap tree diameter tape measure, or a shop that has you measuring pipes all day, it probably won't last long and you should…

This tape measure from Perfect Pi saves me time at work. I work with metal and I usually need to measure the circumference of something and then put that measurement into my calculator to get the circumference. This tape shows me the results straight off the tape. And since the side of the circle is divisible by 1/100, that equals the decimal number .010. So if I need a diameter of 7.875 inches I only measure 7pi and 87.5/100. Also, the other tapes I use to measure circumference (like Stanley's

This tape is disappointing. Typical of this type, you should be able to press down the sides with the fingers of the hand holding the tape. Not this one! No matter how I squeeze (okay, I'm no Schwarzenegger, but I'm no pushover in a life of handwork either). I couldn't stop the tape from slipping. Now I'm pretty sure it's just an error in the single item I received. It appears to be made of durable material. Usually it doesn't matter much. I just went to my "Orders" clicked the back link and…
