If you ever want to get a tape measure or two that will hang around forever, do what I did. Buy two or three nice tape measures on a seemingly great sale at the hardware store. Get them home, use them, and then realize that they were on sale because one edge of the tape is standard and the other side is METRIC. I still have them 15+ years later and hate them every time I try to measure something left handed. They will not die.
