Review: Excellent quality
Review: It is incredibly useful- for avoiding the awful bane of fractions and varying incompatible denominators. Fractions just should not be used at all, there is no good reason. If it was a great idea, we'd use fractional cm too. I work in engineeering, from 0.001" to 12 ft or so. This will be so handy. I was using a tape with fractional inches vs. mm on the other side, and just converting mm to inch.xx, but this will save that step. With judicious reading I should be able to get to accuracy similar to a 1mm division. Metal case for longevity. Works just like it should. Fast delivery. Quality product. Plus it even says "Engineer" right on it, in case I forget. I did not find the markings to be blurry or grayed as of 5/2016. Maybe they had a bad production run previously. How could it be better? Mark it in Inches, 1/10" one side, down to 1/50" all the way down. Mark the other side in meters, cm, and mm. Maybe add some small special mark for each one foot. That would be all purpose.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are you sure this is engineers scale? this looks like machinists scale in hundredths of inches. engineers scale= hundredths of feet**
A: You're right. This tape is in hundredths of inches. I find it extremely useful for my work on CNC bending equipment. I have bought several of them. They are not in tenths and hundredths of of feet, but rather of inches. I don't know who is right about the name, but I know about this product. I would expect what you are looking for to be a much longer tape - 50 or 100ft.

**Q: What length is labeled in fractions?**
A: First 6" are in 32nds and 0.02, after that 1/16 and 10ths.

**Q: Does this tape measure have fractions, decimals and inches all on one?**
A: Sorta, in decimal inches so the inches are split into tenths, like skynet intended.  Way more fun than silly 16ths,  because maths is hard. For people like me.

**Q: I like the layout of the tape l’m looking for a wider more durable tape.**
A: There are many choices of heavier tape measures with 1/10inch 'Engineer' scales, many on Amazon and also see surveyors supplies online. Just check specs closely to be sure that a 1/10-inch scale is included.
