The smaller the tape, the chance is more room inside. More room means it would wiggle a bit when moving around.He adds, "For most people, a 25-foot option is great because it’s easy to store and long enough to handle most measuring tasks around the house. But if your space is small, a 16-foot tape measure is sufficient for most projects you’d need it for.” When the first time we discover this holder, we are amazed because of its high rating which is almost 5 stars.

Holder MaterialCased tape measures are the most familiar type, and the type we tested at our lab. These tape measures have a retractable blade marked with imperial or metric measurements, and a case that’s made of plastic or metal. This type of tape measure is a must-have in your toolkit and is useful for most measuring tasks around the home.The Irwin Strait-Line is a top option for any tool collection. This Holstery product is another super simple tape measure holder that we collect here. As you could see, it’s simple and small. You only need to clip this holder onto your belt and clip the tape measure onto this holder. Whenever you need it, you can easily hook it. Most commonly, tape measures have numerals for inches and feet, and small lines to indicate fractions of inches. There are some, however, including the Milwaukee Compact Tape Measure, that actually indicate the fractions with numerals rather than lines, which can be much easier to read. This tape measure holder will carry the woodworker’s tape measure around along with the pencil together. Whenever they need to use the tape, they can easily take it off from the clip and do the measurement. The dual-sided hook helps keep the blade in place when measuring without an assistant. The belt clip easily attaches to a belt or strap, but this measuring tape is a bit bulky for the designated tape measure holder on some tool pouches. Overall, we found this to be a very accurate, durable, and useful tape measure for professionals, DIYers, and around-the-house users alike.
