Tape Measure 8M – 26 FT X 8 M Measuring Tape Double Sided Metric and Imperial, Dual Lock Releases,Tape Measure with Magnetic Hook, Self-Locking, Metal Casing,

On the top side of this you have imperial measurements, feet inches and fractions up to 27ft. The other side is metric, centimetres millimetres but strangely enough no markings for metres! and this extends to 800cm which equals 8 Metres. When this is pulled out it holds but it can be released by either of 2 buttons one on the top and one underneath. This has a magnetic hook that with one hand I pushed against a radiator and extended the measure and this held well, a good feature. I like this tape measure, it has a metal casing, strap and belt clip and although it’s heavy it feels robust and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Love the fact this is double sided giving you ease when measuring. The measure is strong and feels really good quality, it has a button to push to bring the tape back in that when you release it the tape stays at that point again. Wide and very long for measuring everywhere needed.

The metric measurements are on the underneath of the tape measure making it extremely difficult to use. Unfortunately due to circumstances I missed the deadline to return it, so it is now going in the bin. Total waste of money.

This is an excellent tape measure, so many functions that you would probably not think about having on a tape measure. Its stays put when you pull it out and only collapses when you push the button, the inches side of the tape is well incremented, it is a bit weird to have the centimeter measurements on the opposite side but hopefully I will get used to it. The actual tape is very strong, it's not easy to bend so does not collapse easily either. Very happy should last a lifetime especially since it guaranteed.

I was looking for a stable tape measure to help with replacing rain water guttering. The tape arrives in a fancy box and certainly first impressions are good with the overall quality looking very good. Problems are only obviuos once you start to use on a job. The tape has two return buttons which means if you are feeding out the tape you cannot keep the body on a surface in a normal manner (ie along a roof at the top of a ladder) as it keeps wanting to recoil. The tapes metric side is even more diificult to feed unsupported for very far. In the end I had to revert to my old Stanley FatMax although for other applicaitons (ie on a bench,ground) this tape worked fine and the dual scale can be useful once you get to using it to. I will be using it again but next time I need to buy a new tape will probbaly go back to a 32mm wide FatMax......

Excellent quality. The only thing I do not like is that mm is on the wrong side or unnatural side of the measuring tape.

Lasted for 2 weeks then started jamming. Magnetic come out after just 4 days

i think this is perfect for my needs i use decimal and metric in my work and this product helps me enormously with my everyday tasks thanks
