Pubdate:

Steel tape measures generally have centimeter (cm) and millimeter (mm) scales, and some may also have inch scales. The centimeter scale is usually a larger number, with a more prominent long scale every 10 centimeters marked with numbers. The millimeter scale is a small scale between centimeter scales, with each small grid representing 1 millimeter. We often use steel tape measures in sizes such as 3M, 5M, 10M, 30M, 50M, etc. Among them, 3M and 5M are the most widely used. The advantages of steel tape measures are long length, small volume, and easy portability.
