How to use
Using a measuring tape is simple. It has a hook slot which can be pulled to get the required amount of measuring tape out. The ideal way is to place the hook slot at one end of whatever material needs to be measured, and then pull the tape in the opposite direction. The thumb lock can be used to lock the tape position, which otherwise goes into the case if left as it is.

Safety Measures to follow

2. Don’t abruptly lose its grip as its hook can hit you and cause harm.
