It is the same\n      tape that most sellers list as a 60 in (150 cm) tape; 150 cm is 59.06 in, so we quote the shorter, printed\n      figure rather than the rounded one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"band t\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"nar\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eRead this first — we have corrected this page\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003ch2\u003eFour things this page used to say that we could not stand behind\u003c\/h2\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe starting figure was converted wrongly.\u003c\/strong\u003e An earlier version of this page paired the 2 in\n      start with a metric figure that does not match it.

We have taken the accuracy language out. What we will say is what the design does: the\n      locking peg holds the loop at the same shape every time, and a measurement you take the same way twice is the\n      one worth comparing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe page described a handle.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no handle on this item.

Two of them were being loaded from other\n      retailers' servers rather than ours, and carried those retailers' own marketing text burned into the picture,\n      including an environmental claim we cannot support.
