Mini Retractable Tape Measure
video review
intro
It’s great to make everyday tasks and hobbies a bit lighter and safer. That’s what Karen loves her Mary Engelbreit mini retractable measuring tape with a pull tab – no risk of cutting a finger when it retracts and easy to keep with you. Of course, for others, a stiff tape measure might be the more accessible option. Shop what’s right for you! (We share links to the Mary Engelbreit version along with a less expensive Amazon version).

review by Karen
How long I’ve been using this product: A few weeks
How often I use this product: Will use a couple times a month
My gut feeling: Love that it is lightweight and compact (just 2″ in diameter) and is retractable
Why did you choose this product? I find myself always searching for a tape measure when one is needed. The one we keep at home is large and heavy and the tape is metal so there’s a risk of cutting a finger or hand as it retracts.
What are its pros? Easy to store and use; lightweight; safer than metal; retracting tape won’t cut hands or fingers; cloth in faux leather case, with whimsical design; just 2″ in diameter so can be kept in a pocket; high portability; retractable with a light squeeze; winds neatly back in case, so it is not loose.
What are its cons? Measuring tops out at 5 feet. Some people might prefer a stiff, metal tape for measuring.
review update
I still use and like it; convenient to keep in pocket.
