New Tape measure

MudBud · Sep 19, 2014

Just gauging opinions on a new tape that is designed for the drywall professional. With the little market surveying done so far opinions are split with boarders but carpenters are more responsive to the concept. There is a drawing and video on this kickstarter link. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/garymccallum/1985674832/edit?ref=email.
I hope to have this available in imperial and metric versions in a few months.

I'm not logging in to anything just to have a look.. I buy my tapes from either Boyes or WLD Textiles (in York) for a couple of quid. Tapes soon wear out so no point in anything expensive.

I like the look of the ox tapes they have large wings to hold on to whitch will prob help when cutting drywall.
