Review on Left Handed Measure Right Left Retractable: Perfect Tool for Lefties by David Stewart

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Swing and miss.

I was so excited to find a left handed tape measure. I'm used to doing a lot of things with my right hand, but using a tape measure with my right hand was something I just couldn't master, although I got pretty good at reading numbers on my head. This tape measure solves that problem and even has a belt clip on the right side for left-handers. It works great and I look forward to using it. The problem, however, is that the quality is a bit questionable. The image on the Revain would make you think it's a metal and chrome body, but it's plastic. It looks expensive but feels cheap and is a bit of a disappointment. I can best describe its quality as a novelty rather than a serious tool that can be used for many years. This is unfortunate because as a left-hander I expect left-handed products to be of the same quality as a "regular" product. That being said I think I would consider it a decent price if I paid $10 or $15, but as it stands I think almost $30 (including shipping) for this product is really a lot are high. I hope it lasts but my expectations aren't high.

Pros
  • Measuring & Marking Tools
Cons
  • High Price
