Takamine Professional Tape Measure with Magnetic Hook, Self-Lock,5.5m Power Blade Measure,Retractable Measuring Tape,Easy to Read for Craftman,Engineers

Better tape than anything else I have including all the Big name brands.

Metric is so much easier than imperial do yourself a favor get this and try it out. To measure metric you just count. 357 mm is the same as 35.7 cm. So you just go down the tape measure first to 30 then to 35 then to 35.7. 3,5,7 and there’s the mark. In imperial you go one foot and then 2 inches and then 1/16 of an inch. Three different types of measure! It makes math torturous and insane. 357 + 641 = 998 easy math, easy to find the mark just count 9 then 9 then 8. Now do the same with 1’ 2-1/16” + 2’ 1-1/4” = 3’ 3-3/16” just looking at is confusing and harder to remember than 998.If they made the small lines different heights like Starrett does I would give this 5 stars. I love that it is all metric. The mixed imperial/ metric are difficult to use because half the time the numbers are in the wrong side of the tape. It’s really useless to have both systems on one tool unless you are just trying to convert measurements. So thank you for being the only all metric tape measure. It works great. Easy to read. Fun to measure, add, subtract, multiply, divide. Fractions are a thing of the past.

The big digits on the high contrast layout make it super easy to quickly read measurements.After just a few measurements, you’ll be totally sold on ruler scales using repeating 1 to 9 digits in black delineated with red blocks for the tens.

This tape measure is compact. For the price you can’t go wrong. The magnets on the hook end is a big plus. Very lightweight and easy to read the measurements.

Works as it should

The numbers are easy to read and locks in place really nicely.
