You can buy these with a calibration certificate for like $70, but I skipped the cert. Should be the same quality, cost me $16. I chose the version with the superior units of measurement.

    I don’t find that the accuracy really matters as long as you’re using the same tape measure and not switching between multiple different ones.

    Hultafors Talmeter is what I use for woodworking.

      That’s fair. Generally yes, it doesn’t matter most of the time. I worked in metrology for a couple years and appreciate having accurate measuring devices. I have other tape measures that look and feel better to use but I wanted something that I can be confident is accurate. Maybe I should have paid for the one with the calibration cert.
