    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

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

    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.

    Good call kidwoo! I stopped by the hardware store near my house (where they actually know my name) and they had one for 4 bucks.

    ask if any of the canadian mags would be willing to send you one
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch
