HI Folks
I bought myself a new tape measure the other day. It has the usual
€˜sloppy rivet arrangement at the €˜hook end - but this one also has a
feature that Id not seen before...
Is the "sloppy rivet" as you describe it not there for a purpose to
allow the end piece to move in and out depending on whether you are
measuring an "outside" or an "inside" ? All measures have them .
As I discovered with a clip round the ear when I was a kid having
"mended" his with a hammer
