REVIEW: GW tape measure

[General Biakal]

WHATS THE ACCESSORY?


GW tape measure



PRICE?

£3



WHATS THE THINKING THEN?

well, Im not gonna lie to you, a lot of GW stuff comes in for some flakk, often justified. But i am going to defend this product to the hilt... mainly because i got it free.

but even if i HAD payed for it i suppose i would have been happy... its actually quite good. the mechanism it strong and feels quality, the button and the rubber coating feel nice and the ergonomic shape is well designed. i really like it and if you need a tape measure... well, spend £3. or you could get this fucking horror for 50p more...

yes, compared to real products from other shops the quality, style and general value is better... amazing!

3 GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS MODEL:

1. its heavy and robust
2. rubber coating feels nice to the touch
3. ergonomic design actually works well


1 SHIT THING ABOUT THIS MODEL

1. cost, as per



LONG STORY SHORT...

you could easily pay £1.99 or even more at B&Q (i have) and have the spring or button break (i have) so to be honest £3 for this is pretty good value...

WORD.

[General Biakal]

Actually in the not too distant future, we shall be re-shuffling the Forum and adding some new categories. One of them will be a section for accessories, gaming-aids and dice.

That's why in a Warhammer-like game, it's usual to measure at least 9 ft long distances!

I'm sorry, but by now I'm an anti-GW supporter and I tend to criticize all the GW choices! I prefer to buy the ugly tape you posted and if that's necessary, customize it by myself to make it cool.

i fully agree but on this occasion GW actually have a decent product at a reasonable price (utter stunned silence)
