If it is a one-sided scale it will not break if it hits the ceiling. With this double-sided scale it can be measured about 2 m without breaking. I really like it.
I often use it at the site work, but since it is often used by stepping on the scale itself it will crack immediately. And since the size to use is 10.0 m and so long, the weight of the main body also becomes considerable. It is a sort of thing if it gets a little lighter and it becomes stronger.
The price is not much different from local Homsen. Compared with the same product purchased at Houmsen several years ago is it due to cost cutting? I think that the hardware part of the Major had quite thin. If you extend it to measure a long length in the air it will break in the middle. The previous one is a husband that did not have such a thing.
