| "Still A Toolbox Standard" |
Date: 8/31/2005 |
"If you remember, these tapes used to be black with a chrome winding handle. The one my Dad had always had a good coat of rust and mud on it. it was one of the first tools we used when starting a new house. Compared to a fiberglass tape, there's no comparison. With a fiberglass tape, the windier the day the harder you tend to pull, to stop the tape from fluttering, this causes stretching. Read"inaccuracy". A steel tape has weight. This weight helps reduce flutter and WILL NOT STRETCH! Lay out your new house,room addition,garden spot,driveway or whatever you need 100' of measuring capacity for with a tape that you can drop into a tool belt pocket or a jacket pocket. Compact, efficient, there's one in my truck right now and I think Dad's is in my shop. You buy two and leave Dad's alone."
