Review on Dual Read Width Vice Versa by George Woods

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Dials on both sides and readings left and right on both sides are all good. However, the design is only average (so good

The advantage of this band is that it is fully metric (the scales are not cluttered with metric and US scales) which are scales localized on both sides and readable on both sides left and right - all good design but only medium (as good as most American tapes but not heavy duty models) I bought two - they seem to be shipped from Switzerland - no problem just it took a while. one housing screw out of two (of five each) was defective, ie plastic unscrewed or with a thread. housings are still ok with four screws and there is always glue, but the screws used are too weak and have an odd very long Length - probably not interchangeable locally but it's not really a big issue, I'm still very glad I got it received and I would buy them again even if I assume a case screw would be bad.

Pros
  • Useful for measuring overheads
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
