Hell, I'd pay twice that for a proper American made all steel tape without any packaging at all.
This tape will be going back to Lowes and I’ll look on flea-bay for a proper vintage tape.
End rant.
I suggest you get a Stanley "Fat Max" tape. They do cost about 20 bucks but they are made in the U.S. with "global materials" and are an excellent tape. The markings on them are very easier to see for us "middle aged" guys.
