Lightweight, phthalate-free, and easy to keep in a lab coat pocket, therapy bag, or sewing kit. A practical, no-fuss measuring tool for clinicians, therapists, fitness professionals, and everyday users alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-foot (72\") fiberglass tape — flexible and stretch-resistant for long-term accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibrated in both inches and centimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock-open function — holds tape extended for stable, hands-free measuring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-button retractor — smooth, easy retraction into compact case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact white plastic case — lightweight and pocket-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhthalate-free construction — safe for repeated clinical and patient-contact use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysical therapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation clinicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical offices and therapy clinics needing a reliable everyday measuring tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitness professionals and athletic trainers tracking body measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSewing, crafting, and general household measuring needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone needing a compact, accurate tape measure for daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e BJ225120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Jay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTape Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 feet (72\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTape Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiberglass (stretch-resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inches and centimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lock-open, push-button retract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phthalate-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between this tape measure and a Gulick tape measure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a standard flexible tape measure — tension is applied by hand during use. A Gulick tape measure adds a spring-weighted end that applies a fixed, calibrated tension automatically, ensuring consistent force across measurements. Gulick tapes are used when reproducibility between clinicians or measurement sessions is critical (e.g., edema monitoring, limb girth tracking). This tape is ideal for general clinical, therapy, fitness, and everyday measuring needs where Gulick-level standardization is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is fiberglass better than plastic for a measuring tape?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFiberglass tapes resist stretching over time, which means the calibration stays accurate with repeated use. Plastic tapes can stretch or deform with use, introducing measurement error. For clinical and therapy applications where accuracy matters, fiberglass is the preferred tape material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the lock-open function work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nExtend the tape to your desired length and engage the lock to hold it in place. This allows you to take measurements without needing to hold the tape taut with both hands — useful when measuring alone or when you need a free hand to mark or record the measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this tape measure safe for direct skin contact?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The tape is phthalate-free, making it safe for repeated direct skin contact in clinical, therapy, and patient-facing environments including pediatric settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Jay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388778655798,"sku":"BJ225120","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/BJ225120.jpg?v=1662856919","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/products\/6-72-tape-measure-fiberglass-inches-centimeters-lock-retract","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
