This type of tape is perfect for use when taking measurements internally or in dirt free environments As per the table below, for men, a wrist size of 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 inches indicates a small frame, while a measurement over 7 1/2 inches is typical of a larger bone structure. This method is the least accurate way to determine body frame size. However, you can wrap your thumb and forefinger around your wrist in the area you wear a watch.

Short tapes are very versatile and can be used in the home for DIY and in the construction and engineering industries amongst others. Tape measures frequently have a metal hook (or tang) at the end of the blade that can be hooked over whatever is being measured with measurements being taken from the end of the hook. The simple bottom hook points downwards while readings are taken off the tape from above just as other types of hooks enable measurements to be taken from a variety of angles. Hooks are usually connected to the tape with rivets; more rivets usually making for a stronger connection. Long tapes, by comparison, usually employ a folding hook or anchor that allows the tape to be pinned to the ground thus giving a stable point from which to measure. BELT CLIP Most open reel tape measures feature an integral handle allowing them to be carried and wound out with more ease than a closed reel tape. Disabled World provides general information only.
