IT IS TERRIBLE!!!
[IT'S EXCELLENT -- SEE MY SECOND UPDATE BELOW]
So, what's so terrible?
Well, it is supposed to be a tape measure! The tape measure is SUPPOSED TO BE 84 inches long (7 feet); however, the measurements ON THE TAPE I RECEIVED are inaccurate -- the inaccurate measurements cause the tape to longer than 84 + 1/2 inches! The tape I received added a little bit to every each -- by the end of the tape (84 inches), the tape was 84 + 1/2 long.
I purchased a 1x2' board which was 8 feet long to mount this tape measure (so that I could move it from room to room as a measuring rod to build some cabinets). I cut my 8 foot (96 inches) board down to 84 + 1/4 inches (in order to leave an extra quarter inch). I, then, carefully positioned and mounted the measuring tape to the board. When I finished, the measuring tape was LONGER THAN THE BOARD! I thought: "Maybe I measured the board wrong!" I went and got the tape measure which I had used to measure the board; and, sure enough, the board was 84 and 1/4 inches long -- just what I had measured! I set the measuring tape I had used to measure the board next to this measuring tape and THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY -- this measuring tape was TOO LONG! It was MORE THAN 84 inches long - yet, it is supposed to be 84 inches! I got another one of my tape measures to compare my measurements -- both of my other tape measures were within a 64th of an inch. This tape measure was about A HALF OF AN INCH WRONG! As I compared the tape measures, this tape added an extra amount at each inch. They, both, started at zero. At one inch, they were about the same. At 12 inches, this tape was MORE THAN 12 inches. By the time a got to about 60 inches (5 feet), this tape measure was more than a quarter of an inch longer. At the end (84 inches - 7 feet), this tape measure was longer by about half an inch! It's totally useless -- it is inaccurate! If I had used it to construct my cabinets, everything would have been wrong!
I am glad I was able to discover this inaccuracy BEFORE I relied upon it!!!
(Obviously, I am getting my money back!)
P.S. It is well marked and easy to hang -- it's just wrong! (The other reviewer, probably, never compared it to an accurate tape measure.)
UPDATE: In response to my review (above), a video was uploaded to YouTube promoting the accuracy of the Posh Height Indicator Tape -- apparently, attempting to refute my review (notice that the date the video was uploaded was a few days after my review).
To provide an unbiased response, I uploaded a complementary video to YouTube (see insert). A reviewer on the YouTube video I had posted postulated because ALL three of the measuring tapes I had used were metal tapes, ALL of them shrunk by the exact same amount -- thus, it was not the Posh Tape which was inaccurate -- rather, ALL of the measuring tapes I had used were inaccurate (by the exact same amount).
Accordingly, I used my very precise, 100-foot long, FIBERGLASS measuring tape (which is not metal and does not shrink), and compared it to the Post Tape -- thus, the second set of photos. The fiberglass measuring tape confirmed the accuracy of ALL three of the metal measuring tapes I had used in the video (in addition to confirming the accuracy of another, white, metal measuring tape I had used in my initial photographs),
See the second set of photographs comparing the Posh Tape to the fiberglass tape.
SECOND UPDATE: In response to my review - noting the inaccuracy of the Posh Tape I had received, the manufacturer sent me a replacement tape! (I didn't even ask for it); the manufacturer, apparently, prides itself on the accuracy of their measuring tapes, and the manufacturer was surprised that the tape I had received was inaccurate (a defect -- it happens). I am pleased to report that, upon careful analysis, the second Posh Tape I received is 100% accurate -- which is really good because I wanted a quality-made, accurate, height-indicator tape. [I took another video; however, due to Amazon's policy, I can only upload one video. You'll have to just take my word for it that the second tape is accurate.]
Now, the lesson is -- this is a well-made, highly visible, and good quality height-indicator tape; you'll just have to CHECK ITS ACCURACY before you rely upon it for accurate measurements. If the tape happens to be inaccurate, Posh stands by its guarantee and will send you another one!
I have adjusted the stars (from one star) to reflect the quality of the tape; and to, more importantly, inform you of, and express my appreciation for, their EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE (from my experience -- if there is something wrong, they will make it right)!.
(I'd give it five stars -- were it not for the disappointment I, initially, experienced, and the extra trouble it created.)
(Heck, I just changed it to five stars (from four stars) -- it is AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT, and they had great quality, hassle-free, customer service,)
They deserve five stars!!!
