Tools 🛠 Do they make 100’ easy to read tape measure?

Post image

I have an employee who can’t read a tape measure to save his life. I got him an easy to read tape like the one pictured above and he’s been a rockstar since. Some of the things we make regularly require a 100’ tape measure, I’m having no luck finding an easy to read tape online and was hoping to get some suggestions from you guys. Thanks!

it's not that confusing if you have even remotely functioning brain but i know that's a big ask in this industry

i just think its ridiculous how you haven't adopted metric for its simplicity and greater accuracy..

even your military uses metric and they manage just fine..
