I see on tv an ad for a digital tape measure. it is the “but wait there is more . †crowd. . “Buy one get one freeâ€, “not available in the shops†etc etc but as usual they tell you everything you would want to know about the item except the price. anybody know the price ?
Read the reviews, as usual it's low quality, flimsy crap. Buy a real one, they copy better products.

I bought a cheap digital calliper - unreliable. If you need fine accurate readings, pay the $$$ and get a good one. lythande1 is right, read the reviews first!

Yes. Amazon / Aliexpress have them for about NZ$25.00. would be interesting to see how much the "as seen on TV" crowd have them for, I suspect that it would be 2x or 3x more than that. A dead give away of a crap product is "buy one get one free" that they are offering, but of course 2 x handling fee, which tend to be over the top ! As suggest may give the item a wide berth.

I phoned the 0800 number and they called back 2 hours later to tell me it is $150.00 incl. P & P. It took me a forced hang up to get the "Not first language English" to stop trying to get me to sign up. LOL

'buy one, get one free' means that it is over-priced by, at least, 100%.

Have to agree here, cheap rubbish, buy a decent one that will last, well worth the expense. I do not trust those "infomercials" at all.

Yes infomercials stuff is generally over priced crap that even The Warehouse, K Mart or similar would not stock. “Not available in stores†also means over priced crap.
