For online shopping should be aware of their options not only in inches, but in inches. And a centimeter is very convenient - at least at first, until his head had hammered firmly that the parameters in inches - it's measurements in centimeters divided by 2.54. That's all. As soon as I remember that figure, then start again using conventional inch-tape - what to do, it is more convenient in this format without large plastic blotches. And if you are still using this meter, or are planning to do this, remember two things. Firstly, at the very measuring tape does not start with 1, and rightly so, it is not factory marriage - makers take into account the length of the plastic handle. And secondly, to measure the volume in centimeters, does not need to turn the roulette convex side inwards and swear that it is inconvenient and inaccurate. Measured in inches (the result is saved until you press a button on the case, only if the tape will retract back), turned the tape, and here it is - the size in centimeters. In general, useful fun toy, which I personally can not complain, although I do not use often.
