I needed a tape and went to Walmart. This was the cheapest I found. It does the job and it quite handy. It is small and can be even put into a purse. It doesn’t get lost easily, which I love.

It’s not amazing for heavy duty use, but it has worked well for me for a while. I measure rooms with it, do simple wood working measurements. The only downside, which is what I’d suggest for heavy duty use, is making the tape measure part more sturdy.
