**Q: Does the imperial measurements go up in feet , ie 1 2 3 4 5 ect and not 12 24 36 48 60  ? .....**
A: Hi. 
The imperial scale goes up in 1" increments, i.e.1" to 11" with the 12th increment identified as 1ft. The next increments are then also in 1" increments i.e.13" to 23" with the 24th increment identified as 2ft and so on.
Hope that's clear and helps.

A: Hi, I don't have one here to check, but there is no mention of it and looking at the body of it, there is nowhere to attach a wrist strap.

I’m impressed with its quality. The bi-material grip makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use, even for extended periods. The 5m length is perfect for most of my DIY and home improvement projects, offering plenty of reach without being too bulky. The measuring tape is durable and feels sturdy, yet lightweight enough to carry around. I also love the smooth retraction mechanism, which makes putting the tape away a breeze. The clear markings are easy to read, and the tape feels accurate and reliable. Overall, this tape measure offers great value for money with excellent build quality and practicality. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a dependable, everyday tool for measuring.
