Difficult to read: tape measure

I have been a contractor for over 50 years. This tape measure will spend so much time reading a SMALL print and using it vertically instead of horizontally. The fractions are printed in small numbers and the lines are collapsed to make room for the numbered fractions. The inch numbers are large, but are not printed horizontally as they used to be. It was made for people who were never taught how to read a ruler in elementary school and therefore never learned fractions to understand how to read rain gauges, sewing tapes, building and other sensible measurements for everyday life. How sad that we cater to people who expect everything to be done for them via cell phone or someone else.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged
