How American are you? Answer to the nearest inch.
Ed. Note: The Hardware Aisle, in competition with Toolmonger, will feature the most unabashedly patriotic products we can find, every day, until our nation celebrates its 231st birthday. This is part 6 of a series we call This Old Glory.
The American flag, God bless it, doesn't always make for the best decorative emblazoning. But this tape measure may be the most attractive addition of Old Glory that we've seen yet.
The 25-foot tape (with no metric measurements, thank you very much) has a windblown effect, with red and white stripes streaming across it like the swirls in a Brach's peppermint candy. Stirring.
It doesn't have much in the way of standout, however, buckling just past the 7-foot mark. That's too bad—I'd really hate to see the American take it on the chin in a tape measure joust, such as the one in Stanley's hilarious ad (BELOW).

OK- I am tired of this silly blog. If you really can't find anything to post on here except tacky tools, then what value is this site adding? I have discontinued my subscription.
