    I own this, my girlfriend bought it for me for Christmas - when we work on a project, she normally does the measuring. It works great and is very durable. I've dropped it many times , and have used it in a very dirty/dusty environment with no issues. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but def worth checking out.

  • @jhill6033
    @jhill6033 2 месяца назад

    I like that it can give the final measurement in the back of the tape. So you dont have to go past your measuring point and have to keep bending your tape.

  • @kieranlachman4649
    @kieranlachman4649 8 лет назад

    Funny and honest Dan, that's great. I taught one of my workers how to read the fractions on a tape. I also got him a Stanley tape with the fractions marked off, which helped him pick up reading the fractions quicker. The measurement to back of tape on this is great for inside measurements i.e. Windows, doorways...

    This is a pretty cool measuring tape. My understanding is, I don't know if it's true or not. Is that the guy that made this works on ships or something like that. And he had to have quick measurements, and precise. So he invented this puppy. Regardless, I'm one of those guys that could measure five times and still get it wrong. So if this would help. I'm all in. Thanks for the review.

  • @detsgtrogerson

    • @akaredcrossbow
      @akaredcrossbow 6 лет назад +1

      SilverJK the problem is, not everyone will change and will stay old school. Metric is so easy, but imperial is what is used in the US. There would be so much confusion, arguments and wasting time trying to convert plans from imperial to metric. Example 1/2 of an inch in imperial, is equivalent to 12.7 MM🤔😧. Both numbers side by side is very confusing. It’s not that easy to change when everyone not willing to, especially when most people in the US have learned imperial. It’s a no win situation. For the US it’s easier to say cut me 3-1/2 inches than saying 88.9mm and the same goes the other way around for the people that use metric everyday

    If you need more rugged one get HandyMate digital tape measure. I am suck at reading those lines as well so I was looking for something easy to the eyes sometime ago and found eTape and HandyMate ones. HandyMate has more solid built and I dropped it several times already and nothing happened, still good.

    I mean I wouldn't buy it mostly cause I feel like it would make measuring height difficult. Cause usually I can do it from standing on the floor. This I would need a stool or a ladder to get the tape measure to touch the ceiling. So honestly I feel like it would be more useful for like project guys and cabinet makers and not contractors like me to use on a job site.
