24'' 61cm Workbench Ruler Adhesive Backed Tape Measure

First off, the tape came in a nice little round plastic case with a lid, that protected the tape in transit. It's not a flimsy piece of packaging; my first thought when I saw it was "oh! I can reuse that little case for something like screws or washers or something!" Nice packaging that I won't be throwing away. The tape itself is very nice. It feels sturdy, the markings are clear, and it was easy to apply. I was pleased to find that the tape is flexible, as I was applying it to the curved edge of my work table. I started using it right away! It's great to have a handy hands-free measuring tool right where I needed it. Aces!

Mine might be an untypical use for this tape, but I have a similar product at my workbench at home. I'm a creative type, and I like to be able to have a physical scale accessible when I'm trying to visualize the size of an item in my head. When I'm at my standing desk, I do not have room for a drawer underneath, where I used to keep a 12" ruler for quick measurements. I do, however, have one of those small desktop whiteboards with storage beneath the lid. I keep a few 6" rules in there, but that's when the idea hit me! I could stick an adhesive ruler underneath the lid, and not only easily reverence a scale (in both MM and IN), but have it next to my computer screen to help further visualize proper scale. This is my new favorite thing at my desk! Easily cuts to whatever length you want, and I went with the left-to-right layout with both scales, since I do a lot of 3D modeling requiring metric layouts. Sticks really felt first try, and thankfully the backing paper is VERY easy to remove (not always the case with these tapes). Last but not least - this comes rolled in a protective cylindrical case! I was concerned it would've been loose and crushed in the bubble mailer, but this will arrive safely intact. Note: I trimmed the start edge of the tape so it would begin at the "0" line - there is roughly 1.5" of blank tape beyond that to the left, originally. Couldn't be happier with this silly $6 tape!

Mounted nicely across the front of my workbench. Very handy to make quick measurements

Overall good product. Wish it was more durable as some of the numbers have worn off already. I rewrote the numbers that rubbed off and placed packing tape over it. Since then I’ve had no issues.

I make travel / memory bracelets and making sure the strings are the right length is crucial. A ruler just wasn't working for me. I was glad to find this and it's perfect. I use my desk for everything else too, so my arms rub across this measuring strip all the time. It has really held up. Not a single wrinkle or part that's starting to peel up. It's made of that weird kind of metal vinyl material that's impossible to explain until you see and feel it. Easy to get straight if you take a tad bit more time than I did. I can't remember how it was packaged, but it wasn't flat or squashed or anything. Definitely worth the money.

I bought this to put on my craft table to make it quicker to measure lengths of wire, string, etc. It is ideal for my purposes. Easy to install. The only thing I could see that would make this better would be to have the leading edge kiss-cut to make it easier to remove the backing.

I stuck this on the top of my sewing table along the edge where I sit. After a couple of months the clear coating began to peel off and by the time I removed it many markings had rubbed off. The glue came up with Goo Gone and a bit of elbow grease. On the positive side the adhesive worked pretty well and the tape is thin. If used in an area where it’s not subject to abrasion (even from fabrics) it should be fine. I replaced this with a tape make of steel (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0025Q0KAC). It’s thicker but hopefully will last longer; I’ll review that tape in about 4 months to see how it held up compared to this one.

I do not know why it took me so long to get this. I have one at my desk and another in my shipping room. This is nice to have. Easy to install, easy to read.

Good product. A little bit pricey but worth it.

Went on my Ice fishing scooper to measure fish, worked perfectly. Thing and adhered well and has held up being partially submerged in water for a few trips now.

Reading liquid levels in barrel.

My husband is enthusiastic about mounting this tape on his big table in the garage/shop. Will make it easier to get quick measurements.

Easy to read. Was easy to apply, would buy again.
