Four measuring tapes came in the same package, and the package was surprisingly small. I've attached a photo of the package side-by-side with a regular pen for size comparison.All four tapes are double-sided, in inches and centimeters, respectively. All four tapes are 60 inches (150 cm) maximum measuring length. Three of the tapes are white with black markings, and the other one is black tape with white markings. The material that is used for the tapes seems flexible, not stretchy, durable, and the lines and numbers seem "permanent" (i.e., not possible to rub off). The markings are accurate - Yes I checked them with a Westcott student ruler.Of the four tapes, 3 are retractable. The 4th one is a regular tailor's measuring tape that folds or rolls up for storage. All three retractable tapes have auto-lock and use button-press to retract. Of the three retractable tapes, one is the "traditional" type, with a round case and you pull the tape out to measure. The case is about 2 inches in diameter and less than 1/2 inch tall. It is small, takes almost no space, and perfect for putting in a purse or a pocket. The pull-out tape is less wide (about 8mm) than a traditional retractable tape. The markings start at 0. The retracting of this tape is quite fast, which is worth keeping in mind.Below I will review the other two retractable tapes, as they are the most "non-traditional".The other two retractable tapes are the same, and only different in the color of the case. They are for measuring circumferences of objects: your leg, arm, waist size, or a tree branch or a bottle... anything close to a round shape. The end of the tape slides into a slot on the case, forming a closed loop. This feature makes it possible for single-handed operations, and is very useful, for example, when you are using one hand to measure your other arm. To accomplish this operation, you first make a loose loop around the object with the tape (*might* need two hands here to put the end in the slot), and then press the button to reduce the loop (single hand from now on). The retraction of this tape is quite gentle, making it easy to find the best fit. Once reached the desired fit, you can read the measurement on the spot (more on this later). If on-the-spot reading is not convenient, the tape is auto-locked so you can let out the end of the tape and read the measurement at leisure.The initial 2-inches of the measurement is built-in on the hard plastic handle, so the curve for this portion is fixed (see side-view photo, the last one here, I believe) - which *may* bring in a small amount of error if your object is rigid and large in diameter, but compared to the large circumference in these cases, the error (if any) will be negligible. On the other hand, the closed loop here usually makes a better fit around the object, and I would generally consider the measurement more accurate than using a regular tape.You can also use these non-traditional tapes the traditional way, just be sure to align the starting markings (they start at 2 inches and 5 cm on each side, respectively) and subtract 2 inches (or 5 cm if you are using the cm side) from your final reading.Overall, these tape measures are convenient, accurate, small-size and super portable. They do a particular job more easily than the traditional tapes. The price is good too.Any suggestions for improvement? Yes. But these are very minor, and only to the non-traditional type. One is that I wish both inches and cm scales are marked on the same side (the "outside"). As seen in the photo, only the measurement in inches can be read "on-the-spot" because it is on the outside of the closed loop. Currently it is still possible to do cm reading - just take off the tape and read the inside, thanks to the auto-lock. Along the same line of "on-the-spot" measurement, I also wish the little knob on the start of the tape has some sort of mechanism to be secured in the slot (maybe magnets). Currently it just slides in. As shown in the photo, in order to read the numbers, the little knob needs to be on the bottom, and could fall out during single-hand operation.Disclaimer: I was reimbursed for the purchase of this item, for an honest review. My review was not influenced by the reimbursement. I would recommend this product, and would have bought it for myself.
