I can't believe you don't know why the end moves James!! 🤣
Came to look at the comments to see people informing him of the purposely designed 1mm end clip movement. Good to see plenty of teachers saving the day lol.
Everyday's a school day!
Hi James, got this from us tape.com but it explains the deliberate loose hook at the beginning of the tape measure.
“The metal tip at the end of your tape measure is a little bit loose for a reason. ... This isn't an error: it's meant to provide you with accurate readings whether you're measuring the inside or outside edge of a surface. This feature is known as “true zero”.
Ahhhhh good shout. That makes sense!
Before I knew this I hammered the rivets at the end so that it wouldn’t move…..then realised shortly after I had ruined it and had to add 3mm every time I measured anything from the outside 🤣🤣
FYI The end of tape measures are meant to move. The movement should be the width of the metal end piece/hook. Pushed up against a wall the end piece should fit snug against the end of the tape (which actually ends fractionally before '0'mm). If it is 'hooked' onto something it 'loosens' leaving a gap (the same size as the width of the metal end piece) so that the measurement inside the hook is acrually zero.
Edit - Then I read the million other comments saying the same thing. Ha
You must of read my mind! I've been looking at tape measures for a while and then bam you do a video on one! Thanks 😊
Bought it around 6 months ago because u recommended it
Great piece of kit, just used it to panel a toilet room out and all my measurements were near bang on
Oh my gooood!!
I think the slack on the tip of the tape is to provide accuracy by sliding the 1mm that the hook takes up.
Nice one, a good tape is worth its weight, just as an FYI, the movement on the hook is to compensate for its thickness when taking and internal measurement.
A sign of a good tape is when the movement on the hook is exactly the same as it's thickness.
I have one of these, and it's a blinded!!
Keep up the good work fella.
Qi.The part of the tape with the measurement on it I believe is called "the blade"
Pretty sure the movement on the end is to accommodate internal and external measurements,the thickness of the tab should be the same as the movement distance.i have that tape and yes it spot on
I've never had an OX tape measure (or any OX tools) so I wouldn't be able to judge. For me, I use Stanley tape measures, they come in all sizes and last for ages. Just yesterday I was thinking about tools I couldn't do without and a couple of my 12v Bosch tools came to mind. The small angle grinder and the sabre saw, which I bought on a whim, I use them all the time now and would definitely recommend them to any plumber. Keep the videos coming ;)
I use stanley fatmax, and the belt clips suck! So i spent $6-7 on a pouch at home depot and the clip was longer so it clipped over the belt and not just on the face of the belt.. ive had it for years and its never come off my belt
Isn't the end bit supposed to move, to allow for the thickness of the end when you're measuring inside or outside of something?
Read the other comments first before commenting! 😂😂😂It apparently supposed to move!
@@plumberparts that's right 😂😂😂
Hi, enjoy your content.. note that but is designed to measure up against something or from the end of a bit of wood, it accounts for the 1 mm differential:-) it may go out after some years granted.
Not sure it's so good for plumbing but I am loving the Hultafors TALM3 metric-only tape measure. Brilliant for internal measurements which other tape measures don't have. Love the metric only on it as well (Who actually uses imperial :-) ).
Also super accurate for cabinet construction when marking out plywood can get it within a mm with the track saw.
I would buy one as a second tape as it compliments a standard tape / complete owns it :-)
Good Saturday afternoon to you sir and your family from Wellington Somerset
Jimmy, can you do a video aimed primarily at "Designers" on... "HOW TO READ A TAPE MEASURE"
Love the Ox tools, any news on the new sealant gun with the variable flow rate?
Im a big fan of the big chunky Milwaukee one myself, got a nice magnet on the front and everything
I came to comment on why the hook moves the distance of its thickness too, thought it would have been common knowledge
Daniel Craig seems to be doing bits in his spare time
How does this compare to the Stanley FatMax tapes? Looks pretty similar
I specifically bought this 1 through your recommendation a while ago and yes it’s really good
The reason for the ability to slip on the end of the tape a good tape will slip exactly the amount of the thickness of that piece of metal at the end of the tape so that whether you are pushing or pulling the fraction is actually exact so when you're pushing against the end of the tip you lose that 30 second opinion but if you're pulling from me and of that metal tip you would get that Thirty second of an inch back or whatever gauge the thickness of that metal tab is...
Only good tape measures are able to have that slip forwards and backwards it's the exact amount of the thickness of the end
I’m so tempted by this, great vid James
James...... you numty, as others have said " it is supposed to move" 😂
I know I know! 😂
There is also a good visa versa tape measure that has measurement in mm both ends of tape. Good if measuring upside down for etc if that makes sense
Always remember to tighten the cliit
The end of the clip is supposed to move to allow for the thickness of the hook to get the accurate reading.
There's a reason why the end of the tape measure moves. Have a Google and learn 😉
The ox hook is designed to adjust slightly. If you measure up to something it goes flush against what your measuring and if it hooked on something then it pulls away slightly to take the hook out of the measurement equation to get an accurate measure
Look at number 5 here for better explanation www.ustape.com/hidden-features-of-measuring-tape/
Great video, I have one myself 👍🏻 Quick question, do you still play cricket and if so, who for? 🏏🏏
it looks like a quality measure, the only thing is I like the ones that stay out and you retract yourself, like the Magnusson ones, but I'm struggling to find a good quality one (5m) that doesn't break after a few weeks of use, any suggestions from the comment section?
what on earth are you doing with them, I've had my fatmax for ten years,
@@bobcat9754 did you read this properly? I like my tape to auto lock out and press a button to retract, fatmax don't do this?
@@killerbean9911 I wasn't recommending it, i merely enquired as to why your tape measures break after a few weeks. ps i also have a stanley that locks out and stays out, i've had this for ten plus years.
Luckily the bag didn’t have far to fall
The horns snap off eventually
OK I KNOW THIS IS THE WEDNESDAY VIDEO...but the week has been mutilated by customers!
It's only one sided and the end's not magnetic so it's good but far from perfect.
this is a tape measure made by Komelon.
Hahaha. It moves for external and internal measurements. It ain't sloppy manufacturing. If the rivets don't move, you lose the accuracy. Tape measures are made to extraordinary levels of accuracy.
I cannot believe you didn't know that. Don't you ever work with Chippy's ?
Nah they’re twats! 😂😂
do you like that tape measure because its fat then and can squat, actually i was going to order one until you convinced me you didn't know how to use it, all that gripfill on the end will make it more inaccurate than the so called loose end. how often do you measure open spaces above ground, no one needs a floating arched tape.It should be straight. Donut. love the videos anyway, keep it up.
I get the wife to hold the end of it!😉
You stick to your guns and buy your toys mate lol😂😂👍
Never drop a tool bag, especially on your own foot
Nah.. Hultafors Talmeter 👌
Looks a bit delicate. Few drops on site and it would be in bits
@@alextomlinson Definitely not. They're most robust built tape measures I've ever used. I've seen and used fairly many of them and never seen one that would've had ie. bad brake. Plus it's the only tape measure I've ever seen that you can actually buy spare parts. Never bought ones, but I was really surprised when I heard about it. Looks can be deceiving, you should try one before judging. It's just so convenient to scribe with metering device.
No one appreciates a good tape measure until you lose it and have to make do with a cheap one, painful
Put a bit of super glue on the rivets it will stop the end moving 😉😎
Boring matey
