Hense you should use the same tape for measuring and making!

In an ideal world,

You know fine well workshops eat things.

At least if I have 3 tapes that are all dead on it doesn't matter which one I find.

best tape measures I've used and bought recently over the last few years have been Milwaukee, the big 5m and 8m tapes with the magnets in the ends etc, they're nicer to use than the stanley fatmax alternatives. The yellow tape gets dirty easily, it's not a gloss finish, but it soon cleans up with hand wipes.

I don't want to hear any of this class 1/2 bulls**t cos that's all it is, absolute claptrap. A quality tape measure is accurate to 1mm regardless of class, and that's my experience, bear in mind i often work for a company who expect everything i fabricate to be dead-on.

The modern fatmax are shameful, my last one is in an oversite for the next poor buggers

Ive found the Toolstation all metric ones to be good

Is that the double sided advent ones? My long steel rules are advent and they are lovely, not a make I'd heard much of beforehand.

Not as nice as the lush Shinwa efforts though.
