Open Reel Measure Tape, 100 ft, 30 Meters, with Metal Spike, Hand Crank - Open Tape Measure for Track and Field, Long Jump - Durable, Dual-Sided Measuring Reel with Feet and Meters

We got the 100m (330ft) version of this tape for measuring distances around our 2 acre property. I figured it was cheap enough to be a "throw-away" after a few days use, but the product has performed much better than expected. The tape end is very well attached to the pull-hook with several inches of a rubber strain relief to prevent any hint of stress or breakage there. The markings are inches/feet on one face of the tape, and Metric on the reverse side. All markings are clear and easy to read at a glance. There is no apparent stretching when the tape is pulled tight for a measurement, making for very good accuracy. The winding mechanism is smooth and rapid enough, despite no 3X "fast wind" mechanism that more expensive tapes sometimes have. We have noticed a slight tendency for the tape to fold onto itself when twisted over a long length, but this has not been a problem for us at all. Excellent tape and a fantastic value for the price!

Just the thing for measuring out my local football pitch

there is nothing wrong with the item however it come in a box that had looked like a stand in chair for a elephant and a extra charge from the lovely people at FED X for some over seas tax which i was not told about before buying so that's a really slimy move from both FED X and the seller if you are in UK beware they will be a extra £18 charge to pay on top so i will not be using them again. P s to the seller don't use FED X they are not nice to there boxes seen them throne at doors or over my gate got to love home camera system.

The measuring tape is a great choice for the price. It does feel cheaper compared to a measuring tape designed for construction. It is accurate enough if you're looking to use this for sports where accuracy isn't important.
