I use it on my sliding tablesaw. What i really like is having the english and metric measure on the same tape. The first 12 inches of the tape have each inch divided into 32nd of an inch. Unfortunately, the following 11 feet of the tape have the inch divisions divided only into 16th of inch. The change that I would STRONGLY recommend would to make all inches throughout the entire 12 feet of this tape divided into 32nd. A 32 of an inch is a smaller actual division than a mm and I like to have both scales side by side to look at before making a cut. Strange as it seems, I actually use both scales when working and being able to see them them side by side, all the time, makes it very easy and intuitive to think both in terms of m, cm mm and foot and inches. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be careful *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020* This is a really nice tape, good adhesive, seems durable and very nicely marked. However, when installing you need to keep it back off the very edge of your bench. This thing is RAZOR sharp. The way I had it installed if you run your hand down the front edge of the bench or make hard contact with it in the course of working you will inflict some damage. After slicing myself on it twice, I removed it and trashed it. I will probably buy another and install it 1/8” back from the edge of my bench.Update: I did by another and installed it as stated above. Same good quality as the first one. Makes a convenient way to measure quickly at the bench. Happy with the purchase. ### ⭐⭐ Not too accurate, and MADE IN CHINA ! *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020* I usually trust this brand for accurate measuring devices. But this time, I was disappointed. I used a right-to-left, and bought another left-to-right to use on my table saw fence slide.The GOOD: Easy to read, sticks VERY well, durable (both the tape itself as well as the ink), and easy to apply.The BAD: The WORST thing about this tool is that it is made in china. In addition, it is inaccurate. The farther away from "0", the greater the inaccuracy (at 24" from "zero", the error is about 1/8"). I verified this with an accurate tape measure from the inside of my thin-kerf 10" table saw blade to my fence. The only thing I could think of is that because the tape is metal, the change in temperature of my shop expands / contracts the tape, thus changing the accuracy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/4774032-starrett-tape-measure-stix-1-2-x-144-12-s12](https://www.desertcart.us/products/4774032-starrett-tape-measure-stix-1-2-x-144-12-s12) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
