Bought this item for use in a research study, so we really wanted something accurate and reliable. This was the third tape measure we purchased; other similar ones were problematic because the tape didn't expand and retract smoothly--it would have space of about 2-3cm before it would &#34;click.&#34; This measuring tape rolls out perfectly smooth and stays in place, which allows you to put the tape around the area you are measuring, put the pin in its place, press the retract button (so you always use the same level of tension), remove the pin, and then read the measurement. This is exactly what we wanted and it is the first tape out of several that we have tried that is able to function this well.
