Singer 81578 Retractable Tape Measure Review

The product was obviously defective. First time on Amazon for me after years of only buying products from Amazon. All the tape was in the holster with no lace to put on. retracts leaving centimeters that lengthen with each use.

Singer should be ashamed to sell this under his own name. I bought 3 of these, now they are all broken. This works fine as long as you NEVER pull the tape measure out the full 60 inches. If you do this, the leader will burst right out of the hull. Now I'm going to buy a real tape measure.

I love these little tools and was very disappointed with the quality of this Singer product. It's very cheaply made and won't completely clean up the first one. In today's world of manufacturing excellence, Singer is far behind. I have another cheaper brand of CLOVER and highly recommend them. I just wanted another tape measure that was smaller. This Singer product does not meet the requirements. Buy the CLOVER product instead.

just took the time to review the $9 item to maybe save someone some trouble. I chose this particular cassette with the singer because I decided it would fit the price and brand of the singer. Received this morning (and shamrock stamp) and am very disappointed. Terrible quality, poor feel of the mechanism and even the tape surface and markings are surprisingly poor quality. And to make matters worse, the markings on the other side of the tape show through, making matters worse. Really terrible…
