due to always looking for them at work i want my own .....

a quick google reveals only availible in the usa - which is expected as they are a states measurement. - talk about confusion.

anyone seen any ? tried the normal tool places plus google searching - i should have got one in the states last week !

I looked for one for ages, eventually found a lu**** somewhere on the internet, can't remember where I'm afraid, I'm guessing you do something in oil and gas to want one?

can cause much confusion if someone borrows it and doesn't know what they are using......

oh yes and isnt it great fun !

yeah im oil n gas. annoys me trying to find the single 10ths tape ,almost all of the tapes in the workshop are in 12ths but I need lengths in 10ths ๐Ÿ™ was on a course last week where some of the guys had their own and it made it so much easier - and given how often im looking it makes sense

Do you not have any colleagues who go to the states regularly?
Otherwise try somewhere like [url= http://www.mayfairstationers.co.uk/linex-precision-divided-triangular-scale-ruler-p-6056.html ]here[/url] maybe?

If you're worrying about tenths of inches then it's probably too small
