Metric Tape Measure

Anyone know where to get one in Denver? Doesn’t look like Home Cheapo or Lowes carries them on hand. And yes, I know 2.54 cm = 1 inch, I just want a tape.

Find a real hardware store with much less stock.

The ones around here seem to have just about everything the malls don't

A quick search of the Starrett web site gives a few options:
Denver Distributors

I have a couple of Stanley's, and they have metric and <ahem> Imperial.

I was with my nephew when he picked one up at the Woodcraft store on Tamarac parkway.

Thanks doodz. Good call on the Starrett skinneyskier! Haven't been by that store in while.

I got a Zippo tape measure, Pretty kool, comes in metric, standard, or combo. Short, though. Only go to 6 ft/2 meters. I use mine when measuring bike stuff.
