A tape measure, consisting of a main body, locking mechanism, and scale, is a tool used for measuring length.
Widely employed in sewing, DIY projects, construction, and factories, there are two main types: convex and spring tape measures. Convex tape measures facilitate measurements on curved surfaces and in narrow spaces, making them suitable for sewing and DIY projects. Spring tape measures, known for their portability and convenience, are commonly used in construction and factories.
When using a tape measure, reading the scale correctly for accurate measurements and preventing the tape from overextending are important. Additionally, maintaining a clean tape is crucial, as a dirty tape may hinder precise measurements.
