Tape Measure

 A tape measure (steel tape rule) is a flexible, retractable measuring tool made of coiled steel strip marked with linear measurement units. Known for its durability and precision, it is essential in construction, carpentry, metalworking, surveying, tailoring, and general DIY applications. Steel tape measures often feature locking mechanisms, belt clips, and protective casings, making them convenient and reliable tools for accurate measurements in both professional and household settings.
