The metric system is used around the world in every country, except the United States. Understanding how to use a metric tape measure is important for US citizens, because the metric system is more commonly recognized and used than the standard system. Using a metric tape measure is easy once you learn the conversions and measurements.
When you have a tape measure that uses the metric system, you will use it the same way that you use one that uses feet and inches. Most of them use both, but a metric one without inches and feet will be a bit different to get used to. Luckily, in the US most will use both and conversions will be easy.

First you should do a quick refresher on the metric system. In elementary school everyone learned the metric measurements as part of math class, but most have forgotten the rules. Correct conversions are extremely important, especially since some tools do not actually list the right conversion amounts! Metric is precise, so learn each conversion. The system is easy to adapt to and can make a big difference in your speed when measuring objects.
Buying a metric tape measure is easy. You can find them at most hardware stores. It is best to get an all purpose one for your household so that you can use it more often for precision. Crafts, school use, and office use are all excellent places to put your metric tape measure to work.
When measuring be sure that you do not get the measurements confused. For example, if you are fitting a window for blinds, don't take the measurement in meters and then buy blinds in feet or inches instead. Be sure to stay consistent with things you are buying and measuring for, so that there are no mishaps.
A metric system tape measure is an excellent option for all of your building and home improvement needs, as long as you can use it properly. There is no reason to use the standard system of measurement if you can learn the metric system. This is especially helpful if you need to communicate building details and plans to individuals that may not be familiar with the standard system of measurement. Using a metric system measuring device will give you more accurate measurements of walls, windows, building materials, and home appliances for installation.
