Loggers tape measure

[Farmchuck]

Going to be cutting some longer stuff. Anyone have or use a logging tape measure? Any suggestions on brand? Spencer? Husqvarna? Are they all in inches scale? Metric? Best place to purchase one? Price? TIA

Spencer's is the standard by which all the rest are measured. They're available in metric, I think, but I'm not sure. They come in inches, which is the standard, then there's a model with feet and tenths, then a model with diameter on the back. I know the 950 is a 50' standard, 950c is standard with diameter on the back, and 950dc is in tenths with the diameter on the back.

Thank you sir.

I have a Spencer as well. Works good.

I have 2 of the 50'. I lost one for a while and bought another so I'd find the first one[emoji55]. They do work good and make sure you get the nail with it pre bent
