Our verdict

A straightforward 16 foot tape with metric and SAE markings and a wide, easy to read blade, best treated as an everyday household tape rather than a jobsite tool.

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.

Who it's for

Suits anyone who wants a simple, budget tape measure for home projects and needs both inch and metric readings on the same blade. Not built for jobsite abuse the way a magnetic or reinforced pro tape is.

Pros and cons

  • Wide three quarter inch blade for readability
  • Belt clip and lanyard included
  • Impact resistant molded case
Cons

Performance notes
