Braille Tape Measure for Visually Impaired Aids Supplies, Clearly Palpable Braille Points, 79""L, balck

Alright. I'll come clean. No one here is blind. Yet. However, at least one of us has had to work in the dark a time of two and wished for a tape like this one. So, ordering it wasn't much of a challenge.Shipment and delivery required 4 days which matched the delivery estimate. The tape looked to be unblemished.It works pretty much like a regular tape measure: Except it has a plastic tape, spring-loaded, inside a disc-shaped box. However, this tape is graduated in multiple ways: A center hole for every centimeter, a single edge notch for every fifth centimeter and a double notch for every tenth centimeter. The mechanism works very well. However, you might have noticed an absence of what, for most in this country, is an important word: Inch. Oh, there are inches, apparently as an after-thought, on the reverse side of the tape. Problem is, the notches and holes only correspond to an inch measurement here and there, by happen stance. This may be as designed and as described but it's not as desired in my case. I'll rate it as "OK" given the first two.
