Richter 3m/10ft Pocket Tape Measure with Sight Window

[normspanners]

Hi I have just bought and received (1day) a Richter 3m/10ft Pocket Tape Measure with Sight Window after somebody reminding me on here about that type of tape, it is very handy for doing internal measurements but one good feature is it has a 1"fold out pointer to put in a centre pop mark (etc), and a hole in the tape (at 1" so no calc req) for a scribe or pencil then look in the 'window' for size required lock the tape, then marking out radii is easy.
It is not the sturdiest tape but just to keep for marking out or checking radii and measuring inside frames(does seems very accurate) which is always difficult trying to bend the tape and 'guess' the actual reading, it will be very handy. IMO

cheers for that I beat Ya!,
looking at the one they sent me, it turns out was the Richter type 44, with spirit level, which should have been another £3
anything that helps the old gray matter, you know the score measure ten times then cut once, more like,forget what you were cutting in the first place !

haha yeah my usual trick is to measure something a couple of times and either cut it 100mm bigger or smaller
