You can buy these with a calibration certificate for like $70, but I skipped the cert. Should be the same quality, cost me $16. I chose the version with the superior units of measurement.

Every other tape measure I have has both. I bought this one with the intention of achieving as much precision as reasonably possibly. If I'm going for precision I'm going metric. Also in almost every other situation I use metric. Not a single fucking tape measure at Home Depot has metric anymore.

    If you want precision you should use a ruler.

    Sure, but the longest one I have is 12 inches, which is good enough for most of the stuff I measure but I've been making big stuff for my new client.
