Hi
Thanks for replies
Aragorn, didn't think of that, left handed shops.
Your link provides an option ( 5 metre tape) for 9.95 + 3.50 postage, a bit pricey.
It is an option though.
http://www.toolpost.co.uk/system/index.html A cheaper one here, comes out just over £8 with postage.
I found one @ lee valley tools, just $2.50, but the postage was to high and its only imperial, for as much as I like imperial I also would prefer having the option of metric.
Alf, yes I could turn it upside down. Seems a shame that you can't just pick up a simple thing like this without putting up with more compromises cos our tool suppliers are'nt up to scratch.
Neil, have you remebered yet?
cheers
