Many people have complained to the UK Metric Association that they find it almost impossible to buy metric-only tapes in Britain. Indeed many people have resorted to visiting builder’s merchants on trips abroad in order to buy them. UKMA has therefore contacted tape manufacturers in Britain to find out what metric-only products they offer.

The good news is that tape suppliers in the UK offer a range of excellent metric only products. Although these products are frequently not seen in British retailers, on this page we provide examples of such products (see left) so that you can order them either order through your local retailer or search for them on the worldwide web.
