To use a measuring tape, pull out the tape to the desired length, ensuring it locks into place.

Place the end of the tape at one point of the object you want to measure, and read the measurement where it meets the other end of the object.

Retract the tape by pressing the button or lever to release the lock and guide it back into the housing.

• DIY Projects: Use it as a straight edge for drawing lines or marking measurements on surfaces.
• Crafting: Measure and cut fabric, paper, or other materials accurately.
• Travel: Use it to check luggage dimensions or measure items while shopping to ensure they fit into a specific space.
