Metric Only or Both?
Metric Only or Both?
When it comes to choosing the type of tape you want, many people are confused by this choice. In the United kingdom, Americas and Australia, Imperial measurements are still widely used alongside the metric system. In Europe and Asia, the metric system is the most widely used unit of measurement.
When it comes down to the choice, this is purely up to what unit you need to measure, and also whether you find it easier to see just metric. In the United kingdom, materials are historically communicated in imperial units, however designs and construction plans are more popularly communicated in metric.
Either way, metric only or imperial/metric, you can be sure that you’re measurements are accurate with any products from the OX Tools measuring range

Solid tape measure, bit on the Bolky side but very sturdy great for use on building sites and DIY. Only down side it doesn’t have the measurements on the bottom side of the tape.
