Monster Maggrip 30' Measuring Tape

$19.65

Having a high-quality tape measure goes a long way in DIYing! This tape measure reaches 30 feet, so it can help you out in all the different types of measuring situations. I also enjoy that this one has a magnetic end.

Buying a higher quality measuring tape initially is wise because they don't bend and break easily. When you don't have bends in the measuring tape - which happens all the time with cheaper measuring tapes - then it's easier to get measurements on your own.
