0-30-687"Tylon" Tape Measure, Black/Yellow, 3 m/12.7 mm

I use this little thing to measure PCB's and it's very accurate.

Excellent tape and is all metric not a hybrid. Great for boat building with metric plans.

I made the switch to metric 10+ years ago and finally got around to ordering some metric only tape measures.

Working in CAD design in metric makes life much easier and having a measuring tape that goes well beyond my small metric rulers has made measuring to make designs much easier. Solid build with a small and handy size at a great price. It has been very helpful.

Mostly good. Kind of small, but it is only a 3 meter tape measure. I would have preferred a wider tape with larger numbers because my 70 year old eyes like large print. The case is solid enough for occasional home use, it's small enough to comfortably drop into a pocket making the belt clip something you may want to remove to do so. Someone mentioned "it's a darn toy" referring to it's "cute size" I guess and yes, it was my immediate reaction as well. BUT here in the States, where we show our exceptionalism by embracing some English king's idea of a logical system of measurement, it's hard to find tools for the measurement system all but four countries in the whole world use. SMH Thankfully Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton decided to use a metric system for our currency and dump the then existent weird English monetary system. They did not choose to adapt metric weights and measures, so here we are. Too bad. Stanley tools (an American company??) made this particular tool in Belgium yet though the measuring tape ONLY has metric measure ( as I wished) it still put ONLY American measurement on the case to add to whatever metric measurement showed on the tape if one had measured an inside length. That marking is very small and completely useless to the tool. Stars off for stupidity.

Decent metric tape measure, except the locking switch doesn't work very well. Sometimes it locks, but other times it doesn't lock. Even when it does "lock," it doesn't fully lock. I have another Stanley tape measure that has a locking switch that works much better than this one. On this one, if you have it locked, and then you pull it just the tiniest bit, the locking switch unlocks. My other Stanley tape measure doesn't do that, so I think that's a bug in this one.

Perfect for any precise work. I use it mostly for 3D printing needs and I'm starting to switch more of my life over to metric as it is way more precise and easier to work with.

Smooth, easy to use, compact. It's good to have one tape in mm/cm and this one is great.
