The SINGER 50003 ProSeries Retractable Tape Measure (98-Inch, Teal) is one of those small tools that makes a big difference. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and clearly designed with sewing and crafting in mind. The retractable feature works smoothly with just the press of a button, so there’s no fighting to roll it back up or dealing with tangled tape.

Singer makes nice sewing products and this retractable measuring tape is no exception. The case is light weight yet sturdy and brightly colored making it easy to spot on a busy work table. It is slightly smaller than the size of the palm of your hand. The tape is well marked on both sides, soft and flexible. I have only had this for a few months but it seems like it will hold up very well. I love that it is retractable.

update: just realized the other side of the tape measure measures millimeters! helpful because i needed millimeter measurements to buy the right size ring!!! still love this and use this daily, it's holding up very well. if i had more money i'd buy a hundred of them bc i'm always losing things. i'm a bit obsessed with tape measures. i feel like i always need one for something. i have the old fashioned wooden kind that you have to unfold, i have the standard carpenters ones, i have the fabric tape measures that aren't retractable and just lay around like lazy snake. for tasks where i dont have to measure very long things (where i'd need a tape measure that stays stick straight and doesn't move), this one is my favorite. it's easy to maneuver, retracts VERY smoothly, is a gorgeous pink, and is portable enough for me to keep in my purse. i love that i can just pull out the tape when i need it quickly, no flopping around - with a non retractable tape measure, i have to find both ends, make sure i have it on the right side, etc etc, it's a hassle. with this, i just pull it out and know it's starting at 0", and i can stop pulling when my other hand has reached the end of whatever it is i want to measure. then i press the button and the tape measure just glides back in, neatly. all of these little things saves me seconds, and saves me confusion, and makes my task fun. and it's cheap!! i wish i had gotten this years ago and will order more.

The tape itself is good: well marked, easy to read and durable. I actually keep it in my desk and use it for 3d printing related tasks when I don't need the precision of electronic calipers. The case on the other hand was a disappointment: If you look just at the picture in the package, the silver paint makes it seem like it is aluminum or steel. If you look at the rest of the photos you will see that it is actually 100% plastic. Fine enough for what it is, but very light and I was hoping for something with just a little more heft.

This is a good retractable tape measure. It's not wide but works well.

This is the best soft measuring tape ever! It's retractable just like the metal ones that mainly men use on their projects 😋!! I even like that bright pink color on the one side. Makes it easy to find if I misplace it, and it's a pretty, feminine tape measure. You pull it out and when you reach the end of what you are measuring, pull slowly and it will click in place. I love that cuz sometimes I have too much going on at once, I'll measure it, then when I need that number, I've already forgotten it! I didn't plan on it, but it turned out to be great that it was a 2-pack. My daughter came over to help me open the Amazon boxes, and put everything away. I had ordered a lot that time. But the funny thing was that when my daughter pulled the measuring tapes out and opened the package, she put one in the bag cuz she knows where I keep it, and she put the second one in her purse! I had planned on asking, after my order arrived, if she needed one. Well I didn't even have to ask! 😋 I'm disabled and bedridden, so I keep what looks like a makeup bag on the tray table by my bed for all my little goodies. This tape measure is lightweight and slim, and it's amazing how often I use it! I even remember when the only cloth measuring tapes were 3-foot, plastic-coated strips by about 3/4" wide. Finally a fabric measuring tape that is a pretty pink, easy to use, and easy to store!

Durable. Highly useful. Great value

nice tape measure
