In the first couple of pages, these three seem responsive to your request: http://www.duckworksbbs.com/tools/measure/index.htm http://www.right-tool.com/starhigqualm.html (must order via phone) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stanley-8M-Metric-Tape-Measure-30-457-Contractors-Ruler-8-Meter-New-/110906064255?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d2843d7f All are 8 m, metric only. I didn't see any "slightly longer" like 10 m. --- On Wed, 7/18/12, Pierre Abbat <[email protected]> wrote: From: Pierre Abbat <[email protected]> Subject: [USMA:51765] metric tapes (Stanley) To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 11:49 AM I asked about the 33-632, which is a 10 m tape listed on Stanley's website (stanleytools.com) without an "order online" button.

Do you have any available pure-metric short tapes at least 7.5 m long? The diagonal of the foundation is 8118 mm, but I can measure that with my longtape.

You can try > our distributor for the European line at this link; www.raitools.com. I sent an email to [email protected] and it bounced, saying that [email protected] does not exist. I found three suitable tapes on that site: 33-442, 33-811, and 33-897. I checked one and didn't find it on stanleytools.com. Are they made in the UK? Pierre -- gau do li'i co'e kei do
