These tape measure duos are the one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time, and I literally use them to measure anything and everything. In the past, I would always ask my mom to borrow her’s so I never had a need for one of my own until I discovered these colorful tapes. The accuracy on these is exact, and functional, and so much easier to use (by yourself). I sell a lot of used clothing, so taking measurements is a must. The PVC material is flexible, and durable for sewing, tailoring, general measurements, and so much more. With dual-sided units (inches) and the other metric (centimeters), it makes measurements versatile for all kinds of different measuring needs. The ends are reinforced with metal plates to prevent fraying and provide a solid starting point for measurements. Lastly, the bold face, easy-to-read markings have large, high-contrast numbers printed on the brightly colored tape to help improve visibility. I highly recommend, and am giving 5-Stars.
