Amazon Basics Retractable Tape Measure with Push Button, Easy to Use, 16 Feet, Pink

This is a good decent tape measure. I needed a small one, I actually was looking for an even smaller one that I could carry in my purse. This will make my purse too heavy, but I can keep it in my car and it will be handy when I need it. I love the color and it works well and even though it is rather small, it will do everything I need from a tape measure. I am very happy with it. It looks just like the photo and a good size for the average person unless you are a contractor or something.

Simple, cheap and small. Defaults to stay extended mode and the button lets it retract. Great feature.

I was surprised at the quality for a pink tape measure. I’m glad I purchased.

Cute and girlie! Love it!

Works very well. I love the color because I can spot it right off. I may end up having to buy an extra one just to make sure I have one.

The product is so far so good. Looks like decent quality. I would give 5* but for the fact that the metric scale is unlabeled. The numbers are in centimeters (cm), but that is not apparent from anything on the item.

I needed a new tape measure to keep in the house when I kept misplacing the one I kept in the garage. It seems like all tape measures are kinda the same, but this is a solid little addition to the toolkit. It’s not too heavy or clunky, fits nicely in any drawer, the retractable feature is super smooth. Fantastic value for the money.

As I was walking by a construction site this morning, a hardhatted man cried out as he dropped something down a well. "Noooo, my tape measure!" he screamed in untold pain.This was the moment I had been waiting for. I pulled the Amazon Basics Tape Measure out of my cargo pants pocket. I carry it with me everywhere with pride, but today was my day to shine."Sir, sir!" I stammered as he held his tear-laden face. It turns out this was the eighth tape measure he had lost down the well and the construction boss had warned him were it to happen again it would come out of his paycheck. Given the hefty prices of standard, non Amazon Basic tape measures, I understood his dismay.I handed over my tape measure and the man, face-weathered and leathery from lack of sunscreen, took it carefully, flipping it over to examine it. I thought he was eyeing the brilliant turquoise lining, reminiscent of Navajo jewelry, but he exclaimed "This is only 16 feet long! The standard tape measure is 25 feet. Why wouldn't they make it 15 feet? Or 20 feet? 16 is so random."Despite the hours I had admired the majesty of my Amazon Basics tape measure, this had never crossed my mind. Fortunately, I had a solution."Despite it's appearance," I began, "it can measure even the longest distances!" I explained that if you lie it down, mark the spot, and do it again, you could measure 32 feet for instance.I had never seen such a surprised look on a man's face. "But what about 22 feet or 18 feet? What then?!"After a few hand drawn diagrams and Youtube video explanations on .75 speed, he eventually agreed to try it out.We carefully stretched the tape measure across the opening of the well and then this bozo let go of his end.I have started carrying two Amazon Basic tape measures in my cargo pockets since then.
