cut 4 times.

once to figure out the end of the tape measure is bent.

twice after realizing a screw got caught under the magnetic end of the tape measure

three after forgetting you needed 2 @ 5/8", and 1@ 3/8"

and four to get it all close enough for beer time.

Thing is, in most cases as long as this is the measuring stick you are using, it would really wouldn't impact you much. It is only if you were using one that is "correct" and this one together that it would cause slight issues.

I get that. It's a big deal for those things that have been waiting on the shelf for the more important projects to be finished.

In some handyman magazine my dad used to get, issues had a reader sent in 'top tip' section, and every other issue, someone would say something along the lines of "Use the same tape measure for the entire project", and then describe their example of how their project went wrong not listening to everyone else that suggested it.

I'd be worried it would be as finicky as a Shiba Inu
