Review on πŸ“ Streamline Your Measurement Process: Starrett SM66ME Adhesive Measure Length Test, Measure & Inspect by Robert Arneson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not good when precision is important

I bought this tape measure from Starrett to replace the tape on my table saw. After making some cuts, here's the difference in my readings. Then I compared with three different roulettes (different brands). All tape measures read the same, but Starrett's measurement differed by 1/32 by three feet. It's no good when accuracy is important. Wasted time and money here. Need to find the exact one. Maybe it was a bad batch. Checked a little more. Seems a good size up to about 11 inches then it drops to about 16 inches. Now it drops everything from there. Shrinkage is approximately 11-16 inches. After that, the readings are good, but if you start from zero, your reading is 1/32 more.

Pros
  • Reads left to right
Cons
  • Available in white only
