One side is metric and it often flips over to that side so it has to be re positioned to get the measurement. It's a little frustrating. I don't know how many combination metric/US Dimensional buildings are built in the US, but I've never seen one. Perhaps they might offer one a metric model of the tape and a US Dimensional model. The actual piece is great quality, which is why I gave it a 4. It's a minor issue unless you use it all of the time.
