I don’t know about the accuracy. Those inches look awefully small. 😁

I’m just now realising British tape measures are probably pretty unique in that they typically come with one side metric, one side imperial

Every other tape measure I have has both. I bought this one with the intention of achieving as much precision as reasonably possibly. If I’m going for precision I’m going metric. Also in almost every other situation I use metric.

If you want precision you should use a ruler.

Sure, but the longest one I have is 12 inches, which is good enough for most of the stuff I measure but I’ve been making big stuff for my new client.
