xapr,

I just searched amazon.com for metric tape measure right now and the entire first page of results were actual metric tape measures? The Milwaukee ones seem to be cheaper on ebay.

Styxia,

I got mine (Milwaukee brand) from the big orange box store which also happens to be available on Amazon.com for $25.

Huh. I bought 3 tape measures in the USA and all 3 had both. In all 3 instances I just bought the cheapest option, I wasn’t even looking for anything in particular.

Really? Sounds bizarre.

Here in Australia you can buy metric-only and metric- imperial tapes anywhere that sells tapes.

The ones I remember that would be 30-40 years old are imperial on one side and metric on the other. Maybe that changed, idk.

Bluetreefrog,

Not really a thought provoking question. Locking.

CaptObvious,

Any place that sells imperial should also sell metric. If all else fails, order from a Canadian Walmart.

Mcmaster-Carr or Grainger have just about any tool you can think of and you don’t have to worry about chinesium junk either.
