What length of measuring tape should I choose?
During installation work, it is necessary to use a measuring tape. Thanks to it, you can actually achieve complete measurement accuracy. However, we must not forget that an incorrectly selected measuring tape may distort the measurements. This means that the yardstick cannot be too short. You can choose from wooden measures, which work particularly well in construction or renovation works, which is mainly due to their stiffness. At the same time, roll-up rulers can also provide ergonomics and functionality. For example, you can choose models that have a hook equipped with magnets and fastened with rivets. Thanks to this, the measuring tape stays in place and allows for precise measurement. It is best to choose models that have a high accuracy class. As for the length of the measuring tape itself, it should not be lower than 3 meters.
