Saw this tape in fine homebuilding. Matched my starrett combo square perfectly.

Tajima tape measure lives up to tajima's reputation. Precision is important, especially in craftsmanship. The hook is very heavy and attached to the tape with more than the usual number of pins.

Easy to read, measurements on both sides of tape, stays put making layouts and marking very easy. Mine is clearly marked (black on white with red) with standard and metric on both side.

Kinked and useless at this point. Not constructed for professional use.
