Last night at a local store, I came across a box full of loose 25'/8 m tape measures from Buffalo Tool. They are as well made as the Stanley 10 m tape measures, but they cost only $3.99. I would have preferred a metric-only one, but I couldn't pass up a deal like that. Today I called Buffalo Tool (4101 Clayton Ave., St. Louis, MO 63110, Telephone: 800-568-6657) and asked if they had any metric-only tape measures. They said that they don't, *BUT* that they could import them from their supplier if there was enough demand (a few thousand units). Do you all think the USMA and/or any of the metric state DOTs might be interested in these? The case on these is very similar to the Stanley case, with a metal clip on one side and a 66 mm diameter circular decal (or imprintable!) area on the other side. Jason
