Tape measures come in various lengths, ranging from a few feet to tens of meters, with a metal or plastic case that houses the measuring tape. The tape itself is marked with units of measurement, usually in inches and centimeters, allowing users to measure objects accurately.

FEATURES:

1. Retractable Design: Tape measures are designed to retract into their cases, making them compact and easy to store when not in use.
2. Locking Mechanism: A locking mechanism allows the tape to stay extended when measuring, ensuring accuracy and ease of use.
3. End Hook: Equipped with a metal hook at the end of the tape to secure it firmly while measuring.
4. Dual Measurement Units: Typically marked with both imperial (inches, feet) and metric (centimeters, meters) units for versatility.
5. Durable Material: Made from durable materials to withstand wear and tear in various working conditions.
6. Clear Markings: Clearly visible and easy-to-read markings for precise measurement.
7. Standalone Measurement: The tape can be used independently without requiring additional tools or support.
8. Flexible Tape: The tape itself is flexible, allowing users to measure curved or irregular surfaces accurately.
9. Magnetic Tip (in some models): Some tape measures have a magnetic tip, which can be useful for measuring metal surfaces.
10. Belt Clip or Lanyard Hole: Often includes a belt clip or a hole for a lanyard for easy carrying and accessibility.
