Are there measuring tapes that dont have loosely riveted end hooks?
These seem to have a 1/16 or so movement so different measurements can be
had if pushing or pulling on the end. Any experience here?
thanks


Probably however if you really want one that does not work properly you can
disable this function by putting the hook where you want it, taking a flat
faced punch and hammer and whacking the rivets that attach the hook.
