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. Thanks, Jeff |

Thanks, Jeff 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... -- Will R.

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. er -- email not valid |
