I love retractable tape measures, but sometimes they aren't long enough. This extra long one is exactly what I needed. Hemline brand means quality and it is sturdy and should last years, very pleased with my purchase.

I know it’s ‘just’ a tape measure, but it does have features that make it stand out above its counterparts. Firstly, it’s able to measure up to 300 cm (120 inches) in one fell swoop and secondly, and more importantly for me, it is retractable – I no longer have to roll up my 150cm jobbie to put it in the sewing box– It’s the little things :) The quality of the tape measure itself is good, measuring approximately 14 mm (9/16 inches) in width, with very legible black markings on a white background, with the centimetre scale in increments of 1 mm, and the inches scale in increments of 1/8 inch. The retract mechanism gives a nice audible click as the tape measure is being pulled out, and is smooth and relatively quite when pulling the tape in. The only small criticism I have, and it really is nitpicking, considering the price and the great quality service I received from KnitUk, is the housing plastic. It is that sort of plastic that would crack/break easily if sat on or dropped onto a hard surface from a height. But I suppose the man would say – “Well don’t drop it from a height or sit on it then :)”.Read full review

I keep this on the living room side table and love it so much I'm thinking I need to buy a few more to keep in the sewing box, my handbag, and one for 'spare'. Accurate measures, retracts smoothly despite repeated use, and is so conveniently marked - inches AND cm on one side, cm only on the other. Especially appreciate the extra length as I now no longer need to use two tapes for longer sewing projects.

I've been looking for a good robust long retractable tape measure to replace my normal small one that got broken that I've had for years... I took the plunge and bought this one and wish I've found this one years back... It's now in my handbag were I alway have one handy when I'm out and about.. Nice length, very sturdy and well made, not flimsy and cheap looking, far from it, you'll not be disappointed in this whatsoever

Great product. Has cms on one side and both cms and inches on the other which is exactly what I wanted. Good, solid retractable action. Doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. Arrived earlier than expected too. I’m extremely pleased with this item. Well done.
