Accurate Tape Measure?

[Web Goblin]

Tapes arent that accurate anyway and I think are only reasonable good at 20 degrees C. Since most tapes get wear and tear at the ends the best way as the others say is to measure from 100mm mark remembering to adjust for it at the other end. We used to get 15mtr tapes sent for calibration at one point, total waste of time in my opinion.

My Stanley FatMax is accurate at 20 degC, it's written on it.

Here compared with my Mitutoyo caliper over 150mm using digi microscope.

I can't see any error because Stanley chuck any blades that fail their test

I just checked one from the pound shop vs my 600mm digital caliper using mark one eyeball and it looks spot on. As expected, pointless exercise.

Putting your scratch slightly off the mark is only human when all's said and done.

Blaming your tape measure is even more human

How about if you include the hook, is it still spot on?

Yes is it still correct
