Overview
This Amazon Basics tape measure is a 16 foot, 192 inch retractable model with both SAE and metric markings on a wide three quarter inch blade, housed in a turquoise, impact resistant case with a belt clip and lanyard.
This is a budget entry rather than a trade branded tape, so the pitch is coverage of both measurement systems on one blade plus an easy grip case, not any reinforced or magnetic hardware. The wide blade and belt clip plus lanyard are meant to make it convenient for everyday projects around the house.
