Metric Only Tape Measures

This section of The Tape Store is dedicated to what we call 'metric only' tape measures; those tapes that feature only metric graduations along their length. Put simply, millimetres, centimetres and metres.

By far the most common type of tape measures sold in the UK today (and for the past few decades) has been the metric and imperial tape measure. These are pocket tapes and long tapes that, on the whole, feature metric measurements (mm, cm etc.) along one side of the blade and imperial measurements (in, ft etc.) along the other. There are some sectors (and individual tradesmen, for that matter!) who simply never use imperial measurements. Their industry or trade has no use for them anymore... and in the 21st Century who can blame them?

Perhaps you think that the inclusion of 'outdated' imperial measurements along a tape measure's blade simply confuses the issue and makes reading the tape more difficult than it needs to be? If so then you should find exactly the tape that you're looking for on this page!

Please note - due to limited demand we don't hold that many metric-only tape measures (short or long) in stock. Neither do we feature that many on this website. We are, however, able to get hold of considerably more metric-only tapes at very short notice, frequently by the very next day. If you don't see precisely what you're looking for here please do Get In Touch. We'll do whatever we can to assist.
