FastCap PSSR16 16 FastPad Standard Reverse Measuring Tape

Love the markings on this tape

really great tape

Finally! A tape I can read when measuring from the left or right! This is what I’ve been looking for since I was a teenager!! Nice job FastCap!!

I love this tape measure. I dont know why they call this a reverse although that IS the reason I bought it. I think all the other tape measures should be called reverse. Most people (like 90%) write with their right hand, as do I. When I use a tape measure, I hook it from right and pull it to the left, so I end up with the tape measure in my left hand and my pencil in my right hand ready to make a mark on the piece of wood Im to cut. When I do this Im looking at all the numbers and fractions upside down. So I have to crank my head around to read a normal tape measure. I was at home depot trying to buy a tape measure like this one, but they had none. They had about 2000 regular measures but not one reverse. I even had the guy working there demonstrat to me how he uses a tape measure, and sure enough he uses it just like me, and has to crank his head around to read the numbers. I guess people are use to reading from left to right, but with numbers it takes about 4 second to get use to reading from right to left. Ill never buy a normal tape measure again. Oh yeah, It has a pencil sharpener, two separate locks, one that snaps in place and the other your finger has to hold (which is really convenient) and it has a dry erase surface on its side to write your measurements so you dont need paper. I dont usually get too excited about a tape measure, but this thing is sweet. I dont know how tough it is, because I havent had it for very long, but it seems nice and heavy and sturdy.

Super produit

NO MORE MISTAKES. Have you ever read a tape upside down and wrote 5/8 instead of 3/8? Cant do that with this tape. Im not quite ecstatic about the markings; stud locations are very well marked at 16 intervals, however FOOT markings are small and not well differentiated from the other markings.

I really like this tape measure. One area where it really shines for me is allowing a quick check for the distance between the front and back of my table saw blade and the fence. Will also be buying the lay flat one as well.

Just so Precise and easy to use

This is the nicest tape measure I have ever used.

The ease to use and the super handy pencil sharpener
