This one tool always gets out the toolbox and never goes back to the box. I have several and I pick them up when they are offered free like today! lol, well I got a free one today from the handyman store here because today is Happy Tape Measure Day! have a gr8 day   :present:


Today is tape measure day, that's too funny!

haha ... I thought the same thing .. Guess it is a marketing gimmick to get ppl into the home improvement stores.

Yes I do.I hardly use it though. When a friend / relative need to fix something I feel good knowing I have one.

My husband and I own and operate a business that requires accurate measuring.  Yes, we have tape measures; we have many tape measures.  I lost count as to how many we have.  :silly:

We have had times where we are on to a job and guess what?  No tape measure is in our vehicle.  It's in the other vehicle.  Now we have to go to a hardware store and pick up another one.   ::)

Now we have multiple tapes in our vehicles along with a new and improved check list of equipment.  ;)

I have several different types of tape measures myself, even a small key-chain one that I leave with my car-keys.

We are always looking for our tape measures!  We are always needing to measure something.  But I also have the cloth measuring tapes and yardsticks and rulers if I can't locate the metal one.

I have one big tape measure, and a few little ones. They never seem to be able to be found when I need them!

We have a soft sewing tape measure in a drawer that holds stationery items, and a sturdy metal one in the basement workroom. They do come in handy when a ruler is not good enough.
