I bought a total of two of the regular tapes and one Flatback. The whole concept of a right or left hand tapemeasure just seems so obvious. You can measure from either side of the board with equal ease. I particularly like the flat back one. In the future, I'd be tempted to replace all of my tapemeasures with flatback tapemeasures. UNFORTUNATELY, the imperial Flatback is priced at $24 where the metric one is priced at half that. If I had noticed ahead of time that the Flatback that is included in the 2 pack was metric I probably wouldn't have bought it. Since I already have it, I'm going to try and embrace the metric system. I really wish Americans had switched to metric back in the 80's when they promised us we were going to. Now I'm old and set in my ways. My brain just doesn't think in metric. So, good tape measures. Make sure you are O.K. with metric if you are buying a two pack.
