Other tapes do not measure up to the speed and ease of the TEKTON 12 ft. x 5/8 in. Auto Lock Tape Measure. Simply extend tape blade and it automatically locks in position anywhere you stop. Press and hold thumb button to release and tape retracts into housing. The compact, rounded shape of the tough stainless steel housing is designed for the most comfortable fit in your hand. Non-slip, rubber grips give you extra control, preventing drops. For accurate inside and outside measurements, the durable, triple-riveted end hook slides to compensate for hook thickness. Marked in high-contrast black on yellow, the versatile inch and metric dual scale measures in inches, feet, millimeters and centimeters. Starting with precise 1/32 in. graduations for the first 6 in., it features 1/8 in. and 1 mm graduations throughout. A low glare finish makes tape easier to read in a variety of conditions, from inside lighting to the sunny outdoors. Snap the thick spring steel clip onto your tool belt, pouch or pocket and this tape goes anywhere you go.

Tape measure has both inches and centimeters but most convenient, has a much easier to use “posi-lock” (just pull it out and it stays extended, press a button to retract). I use it in the French game of “petanque”, to measure distances for points.
