Measuring Tape

A measuring tape is an important tool for any engineering and is used broadly across just
about every avenue/category of engineering. They are compact, simple, and convenient and
allow for quick and versatile measurement in almost any environment. They come in a wide
variety of sizes based on the max distance required for the intended job. They include a
retractable measuring strip, a locking mechanism, and a side mounted belt clip.

etractable Measuring Strip: Used to extend the measuring strip only as much as the
user needs in that immediate moment and fully retracts when not in use.
 Locking Mechanism: This locks the measuring strip into a single point so the user can
work hands free and allows them to transfer the specific measurement to other
locations.
 Belt Clip: With this you can always keep your measuring tape an arm’s length away,
allowing for increased mobility and versatility.
With this tool any engineer can make precise measurements of any surface in almost any
terrain or location with its simplicity and compact design. Keep them in a box or on your belt,
you can bring them anywhere with the built-in belt clip. Perfect as a gift for any handyman.
