If you've ever dug through your bag looking for a tape measure mid-project, this one's worth keeping around. The Ancalls essential tape measure is small enough to tuck into any pouch or notions bag, but the faux leather casing makes it feel a little nicer than the flimsy plastic ones that inevitably go missing.
The tape retracts smoothly, reads in both cm and inches, and at 150 cm / 60 inches it's long enough for garment work. The case is palm-sized — 5.5 cm wide, 1.8 cm tall — so it won't take up much room wherever you stash it.
Nothing fancy, just a solid little tool that does its job without fuss.
