Tape measure that reads from both sides?

August 21, 2010 11:12 AM

I'm looking for a tape measure that has two sets of numbers such that the numbers can be read right side up from either side of the tape. Stanley used to make such a tape years ago, but I can't find one now.

Lufkin has models that read from top to bottom.

Are you looking for a tape measure with numbers on both sides of the tape or are you looking for a tape measure that has two sets of numbers on the same side with one being upside down?

Best answer: Search for ambidextrous tape measures. Here's one: http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/14628

Response by poster: JulianDay's ambidextrous tape is what I'm looking for (thanks), although the Lufkin top to bottom is interesting and new to me.

Klein has a nice one I just picked up.
I'm on my phone but google Klein double sided tape measure.
