Tape measure retractable

Tape measure retractableIntroduction
A retractable tape measure is an extremely useful tool used in all measuring situations and available in many different lengths. The most common lengths are 3m, 5m and 8m but  longer ones are available. The accuracy of a measuring tape is plus or minus 0.5mm.

How to use it
The end of the tape has a tab on the end to hook on the component being measured then pulled along the component to the opposite end. The length is then gained by reading the scale directly from the tape.

Where to use it
The tape measure can be used where ever long measurements need to be taken.
