Fastcap PSSR-25 25-Foot ProCarpenter Lefty/Righty Standard Measuring Tape

This product is a real asset in the woodshop. Having the measurements on both sides of the tape makes measuring from the table saw blade to the proper distance easier than reading the tape upside down. Also, all fractions of the tape are imprinted making measurements easy and quick. It has a tape stop lever that works well and the price for this device is significantly cheaper than buying a tape from the Depot or Lowes. Also contains a pencil sharpener integrated into the body. A great find!

This is the best tape measure ever. EVER. Buy it now. Don't hesitate. Add it to your cart and complete that transaction. If you're looking for an accurate, durable, 25-ft measuring tape, this is the one and only one you will ever need.Here are the many reasons I love this tape measure:1. It's the perfect size. It fits right into the average sized hand and is easy to handle.2. The build quality is solid. The exterior of the tape measure feels well constructed and soft to the touch. It doesn't have any sharp corners or pieces to worry about cutting your hand on. The tape itself has a nylon finish to help protect the numbers and tick marks from wearing away over time.3. It is clear and accurate. All numbers and tick marks are clearly labeled and are easy to read. I would spend half the time figuring out what number a particular tick was supposed to be on my old tape measure, and this eliminates the guesswork and wasted time. The tape is also reversed as well, meaning the tick marks and numbers run along both sides of the tape, making it easy to use in any orientation.4. It comes with cool extra features that no other tape measures (or at least the ones I've seen) have. The outside of the roll is made for writing down your measurements so you don't forget them. There is a button at the bottom just behind the tape slot that allows you to hold the tape in place without having to slide down the tape lock. There is a pencil sharpener on the back of the tape measure for sharpening up your pencil without having to stop what you're doing to go find that pencil sharpener you put somewhere else.This is a high quality, reliable, durable, accurate, and freaking awesome tape measure. Honestly, I put off buying it because I thought to myself, it's just a tape measure. How much different could it be from other tape measures? They all measure lengths, yes. But this one just makes measuring so much easier and simpler to do. I was convinced I had to buy it once I saw one of my favorite woodworkers on Youtube using this tape measure. And he owns tons of high end equipment and many precision tools. This is the tape measure he uses.Do what I did and buy this immediately. You won't regret it.

This is the best tape measure I’ve used in a long time. I don’t use it much for large/gross projects like hanging my gutters but in the shop, the accuracy, the smoothness of the action, and the ease of reading are the best I’ve seen.As with most stuff you use a lot, the small details are where it shines. The belt clip having a spring makes it so much easier to stick on a tool belt. I use a heavy, rigid tool belt and my other tape measures often take several attempts to clip on and stay. This one goes on easy the first time every time. The pencil sharpener is great too and the killer feature is the scratch pad right on the case. So handy.I love this thing and I’m probably going to buy another just in case.

Saw this avertisted on tv and am so glad I purchased it. So handy for a novice diyer. Never really taught how to read a tape before, but this made it so easy and quick also. Love you can read it both ways too. Not to mention how convient to have a place to write numerous measurements.

Great for the price. Only problems I’ve had are the button stop on the bottom doesn’t always lock the tape. Also the belt clip does not hold well and constantly falls off when I’m moving around.

I wanted a tape measure to replace my 'contractor' grade tape that didn't last for more than maybe 15 hours of use (that was twice as much as this one). I have been annoyed by always having to read measurements upside down (because, well, tape measure are marked left to right, but being right handed, I draw them out right to left so I can mark with my right hand). This one gives me options for reading it either way. The tape itself seems to be better quality, has dual marking with fractions, and has a place on the tape itself to write down things (like, measurements for cutting, or stud placements between headers and footers). Th elock works great, it has a break button on the bottom to slow retraction and even has a pencil sharperner on it. Well thought out and executed tape - if I break this one at some point, I will buy another one to replace it.

Nice tape measure. The ability to have right side up numbers on both sided of the tape is creative. The pencil sharpener that is built in is a nice feature. Strong return when releasing the lock is nice also.
