PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape

great product

Best tape measure in the business. Pencil sharpener, white circle on the side to jot measurements down. Various models to suit your needs. Green with 1/16th markings (imperial), yellow with metric and imperial, white is a flexible tape in imperial for arches. A finger brake to stop tape retraction and damaging the end stop. Just keep care of it.

I like the imperial only scale top and bottom of rule clear and easy to read

Great tape

Glad I purchased it very well made only used it once as yet very happy with it

Good for a while but then the lock mechanism started to deteriorate and not hold the tape. It finally failed totally and on inspection the lock tab is broken. Tried gluing but that doesn’t work. I doubt there is a spare parts supply and will need to replace but tbh I am not sure I want another of this make as it’s not cheap and I had to wait ages for delivery from U.S. When I look at the plethora of their types of tape measures it just baffles me why you need so many variations. I’ve emailed fast cap for their comments but won’t hold my breath. Disappointing really given the supposed quality of the manufacture. ADDENDUM: Received a reply from Fastcap and as they don’t have a spare part they are sending a replacement tape measure so I fully withdraw my negative comments. Exceptional service.

This is a nice tape measure but it was a shame about the delivery from UPS (Disgrace)

I have used these tapes for years I love them. My first couple lasted forever that I bought from Rutlands. The sharpners die after a week or two. However this tape died last week it wouldn’t retract and then ejected the whole tape from the body. I hope this is a one off and have ordered another one. They are invaluable as a set builder working off of American drawings.

Para la carpintería excelente gracias

Very good and easy to use for both left and right. Very accurate, smooth and sturdy

A nice basic ruler at a good price. The numbers are easy to read and have good contrast - that matters when you have old eyes. The onboard pencil sharpener and the note surface are neat ideas - it shows someone was thinking! We just got it for Christmas, so I can't speak about how rugged it is, but it feels solid and well-made. I have no idea if they make longer rulers, but a 16-footer will handle most home projects. I recommend this.

This is hands down the best measuring tape I’ve ever used! The reverse design makes reading measurements incredibly intuitive, especially in tight spots. It feels solid and well-made, with markings that are easy to read and don’t fade. The built-in FastPad for writing notes is a genius touch, I use it ALL of the time with a mechanical pencil. I reach for it on every project because it makes my work so much easier.

It has a nice solid feel. I like and appreciate the little details such as the pencil sharpener and quick lock feature. I solid buy.
