Default Looking for flat tape with metric on both sides.

I'm looking for a flat, retractable measuring tape - think they're
called 'cabinetmaker's tapes' which has metric markings on both
sides. I can find them with SAE/metric, but I want all metric.
Something small, easy to handle, like a 3 meter one. I have several
of the LeeValley all metric retractable ones, but find it's a pain
to accurately mark with a curved blade.


Jeff:

Another point: Persuade Robin Lee of Lee Valley to find not only a flat
tape, but cabinet makers rulers that are all metric or all Imperial --
then it would be a _lot_ easier to make precision measurements...


Yes!

I just got some all Imperial rules, but I couldn't find the all metric
(at LV) and would've gotten those as well.
