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.
