I've gotta get one of those I hate it when you have to measure something one way then when you turn the tape round and measure the other way you have to eye across from the imperial side.

Metric only problem solved :)

I had the lightbulb moment not six months ago.
Noticeably less mistakes
 
Anyone got a link for a right handed tape measure in metric? i'm sick of having to read the scale upside down.

Yeah it's silly really I've messed about eyeing it for ever. Sometimes I use a folding ruler that's ok.

Sorry Bod the weather was as foul as my ensuing mood so the shopping never happened.

Never mind, thanks for thinking.

Hultafors Talmeter - the 3m one can be had for around £14+ and you won't look back.

+1 Once you discover that you can do more then just measure. I use it a lot to transfer a length without looking at the numbers as there is a built in scratch function. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ovuFoiVwr0). This was standard equipment in the swedish industri when I worked there (Volvo, Esab).
 
If this weren't a predominantly UK forum there would be more +1 posts :)
