"This tape measure is clear to read and very accurate. It bends easily but feels durable enough for my garment making needs."

“I primarily needed this for small measurements since standard glove sizes are difficult to measure. The narrow design is easy to read and the tape starts after the tip, ensuring accurate measurements. The plastic end makes it easy to hold, and it retracts with a button. My only concern is that the plastic feels a bit cheap, but overall, it’s a great value.”

“I just discovered that the other side measures in millimeters, which is perfect for my ring size! I use this daily and it's holding up well.

I love how convenient it is to pull it out from my purse and measure without any fuss.”

"I wanted something small for my desk that could measure irregular surfaces, and it does exactly that. I checked it against a ruler, and the measurements matched perfectly in both cm and inches. My only minor concerns are that I wish the spring was a bit stronger, and the pull tab that keeps the tape from retracting inside the case is slightly misaligned, causing a bit of annoyance when it doesn’t fully go back inside. Nevertheless, it functions well, so I still give it a 5-star rating!"

"I’ve owned this retractable tape measure for a year, and while I’ve used it occasionally, the end piece came unglued. Now, when I try to retract it, the tape gets stuck inside. But considering the price, I guess that’s fine."

"This little tape measure is a fantastic find! It’s simple, does exactly what I need, and the price is incredibly low. I primarily use it for body measurements and sewing projects. The retractable function is super convenient, and it’s small enough to fit in my bag. Honestly, for the price, it’s a great deal and definitely deserves 5 stars!"

"I used these to create sewing kits for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. While I didn't actually use them for measuring or sewing, they were a great price for my needs and seemed to be a nice item. I would definitely buy again."

"I noticed that the first inch is 1/16" too long compared to a ruler, which makes other measurements slightly off. However, this shouldn't be a significant issue when measuring clothing or fabric."

"These tape measures are soft and flexible, and they easily stretch to the area I need to measure. The writing is clear enough that I don't need to use readers to see it."

"I intended to order just one, but I couldn't resist getting the multi-pack. It turned out to be a fantastic decision because now I have them in all the places I might need one."

"I'm really enjoying this product! It's incredibly user-friendly, and I love having a different color for each room. It's small enough to carry in my purse, making it easy to grab whenever needed. I encourage everyone to get a handful like I did!"

"As a sewer and crafter, I can never have enough of these. With this package, I can easily have one in every project bag and keep extras for when they inevitably go missing. They’re nice and lightweight and feel sturdy when fully extended. At about $0.50 each, it's a great deal compared to other stores."
