Measuring Tapes - Part II (What to do with broken ones)

1. attach them to work benches as permanent measuring tapes.

Chuck it and buy another one

If it’s a craftsman turn it into sears and get a new one.

attach it to a wall for measuring kids through the years.

Or attach to your kids and measure the wall LOL

I think kids today are not taught to measure. Common core teachings require a bunch of algebra equations that don’t really give good answers. Measuring might be a thing of the past. (Another good reason to hang unto old tape measures.)

put them in a drawer, when you need to mke a jig to measure blade height cut a bit off and glue it on. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Recycle.

If it refuses to come out of the case , you smash it on the floor . Makes me feel better !

hahaa laughed out loud at that one

Lol, theses are good ideas.

Use it for fishing. Especially if the end got cut off. “I measured this bluegill and it was nearly 3 feet long!” Makes for great fish stories.

oh Brian.. you are too funny!!

When my tape measure doesn’t work anymore " I MAKE A PHONE CALL WITH IT !!! I’ve had this for 32 years and it will still work as a phone . It was a gift , no idea where they got it .!
