Metric tape measures - Duckworks Boat Builders Supply

Metric markings on both sides of the blade Our 3, 5, and 8 meter tapes (5M shown above) are high quality Lufkin brand. Each tape has: shock absorber to protect the end hook upon return case designed to fit your hand clear coat blade protection and more durable markings non-glare, ultra matte blade finish durable high-impact and hi viz case been fully inspected for accuracy There was considerable discussion on the John Welsford builders forum about the metric system and metric tapes. Two prevailing opinions came out of the exchange: 1) The metric system is much easier to use, once you learn it, and 2) When building a boat, you want your tape measure to have the same system on both sides of the blade. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find metric-only tapes here in the US. None of the retailers I tried had them, and it is difficult to find them on the internet. We finally found a couple of manufacturers who make them (Starrett and Lufkin) and bought enough to sell. Feedback: Chuck,I just came across your website while searching for Matsushita saw blades. I like what I see and while I don't have a project going right now that requires any of your products, I will keep you in mind in the future. I have a Pygmy Kayak and have a friend also building one whom I will forward your web address to. One thing that caught my eye was the metric measuring tapes. I too wanted a metric tape with markers on both sides of the tape for doing tile work and other such projects. I bought an 8m Stanley tape while in Swaziland, Africa a couple years ago. Thanks for your time,John.
