The other day I came across Funky Tape Measure over on Twitter and I was complaining that my Electrician Husband always nicks my tape measure even though he has plenty of them at work so they kindly send me my very own personalised funky tape measure to insure that he will keep his hands off and I always have it to hand to help me with all my redecorating plans for our new family home!
After approving the design my new tape measure made its way to me within a couple of days and it arrived in a secure jiffy box inside this cute little blue box (which doubles up as a gift box as well!):
The tape measure has a solid weight to it and the plastic case has a highly polished chrome effect which makes it look pretty neat and it also has a clip on the back so it can be attached to a belt or trousers in between uses! It has an easy thumb lock which can hold the tape secure in place!
My favourite feature (next to my cool blog logo design of course!) on my funky tape measure has to be the double-sided hi-vis blade featuring metric and imperial markings and it also can extend up to 8m/26ft. When my husband came back from his football tour in the states and spotted my new tape measure he told me non of his expensive work ones have a dual side! Well I better not tell him that it’s also Class II accurate which makes it extremely accurate for measuring and would probably come in pretty handy for his work at the airport. Thankfully it’s clearly marked as MINE (he just doesn’t look like a german wife!) and he has to keep his fingers off it!
Now for the best part the Funky Tape Measure which comes in so many designs for football fans, builders, teachers, mum’s & dad’s as well as birthdays and plenty of other special occasions is only £10.99 (plus £3.99 P&P)!
I love my tape and I think it’s really good quality and will be put to very good use for a long time coming! I even put them on my Christmas to buy list for my husband & his brothers (who all work at the same electrical company) personalizing them each with their nicknames. I am pretty sure those presents will go down very well!
