    Default Tape measure clip

    I'm not going to take credit for this. I saw it a few years ago in some magazine.

    Instead of the flat metal belt clip on tape measures, that never stay on your belt, usually when up a ladder or some where as akward.

    I removed the clip and replaced it with a belt clip from an old mobile phone case.

    Now it clips on and doesn't budge

    The tape companies won't put a good clip on them they will only sell half as many tapes . Looks like a great idea Brian.
