I bought a new tape measure the other day.
I expect, like others, I usually have a variety of tape measures lying around, a little 1.5 - 3 metre, a 5 metre, a 10 meter and a 30 metre, plus a variety of rules, squares, etc.
As I was in the BM, and my 5 metre rule was getting a bit ragged, I picked up a new one.
Normally, I don't pick and choose, much, just pick up the one that looks like it'll do the job.
But I am pleasantly surprised.
It has a 'down' and an 'up' hook. It is printed on both sides of the tape. On withdrawing the tape, the brake automatically applies, and you use the usual buttons to retract the tape.
As said, I am pleased with it. Some thought seems to have gone in to the design.
