Tool of the Month: Measuring Tapes

8 and its never enough

so true!

In my shop and work truck 14

I have 5 but can never put my hands on one.

I have five or six broken ones in a drawer, three on the benches that are still ok. Can anyone tell me why I’m saving the broken ones? Rabbit keeps asking me and I just don’t know.

Too many to count!

I used to carry a 3’ tape measure on my key ring but it broke. When my grandkids were little they would say, “Grandma, when you die, can I have your tape measure?” So those will be the family heirlooms!

L/W

2 at shop (main one and a backup) 1 in the work truck and 3 at home. No broken ones.

I have 8. 2 totally metric, 2 half and half. the rest do not get used.

I have 14 , one is even battery powered . Push a button and the tape runs out.
