    Starrett is known for their quality and i swear by their precision measuring tools however i was a little skeptical of buying a tape measure as i thought it would be one of those lower end tools that your just buying a name

    I needed a metric tape that was not english ruled on one side

    My previous one was dual ruled and it seemed like the metric marks were always on the 34wrong34 side of the tape
