Best tape measure
**Product Review: FastCap PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape**The **FastCap PSSR-16 Pro Carpenter Measuring Tape** is an excellent tool for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Here’s what stands out about this measuring tape:### **Dual-Sided Measurements:**One of the best features is the **reverse measuring capability**, with measurements printed on both sides of the tape. This makes it incredibly easy to read from any angle, especially when working in tight spaces or awkward positions.### **Clear & Easy to Read:**The tape features **large, bold numbers**, making it easy to read, even at a quick glance. The high-contrast black and red markings on the white background are very clear, so I never have to squint to see the measurements.### **Durable Build:**This tape feels durable and built to last. The **16-foot length** is perfect for most jobs around the house or on-site, and the tape itself has a solid, sturdy feel without being overly bulky or heavy.### **Integrated Features:**I love the **built-in pencil sharpener** and **erasable notepad** on the side, which add a level of convenience. It’s a handy way to jot down quick measurements without needing an extra piece of paper, and it saves time when I need to sharpen a pencil on the go.### **Locking Mechanism:**The tape has a **smooth retraction** and a strong **locking mechanism** that holds it securely in place. I never have to worry about it slipping during measurements.### **Final Thoughts:**The **FastCap PSSR-16 Pro Carpenter Measuring Tape** combines functionality, durability, and thoughtful design. The reverse measurement feature, along with the built-in pencil sharpener and notepad, makes this a versatile tool that’s perfect for both professionals and DIYers alike. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a reliable and user-friendly measuring tape.

Very Accurate and Easy to Read – My New Go-To Tape
As a novice to intermediate woodworker and DIYer, I came across a couple of recommendations for FastCap tape measures. Needless to say, this is now my go-to tape.Pros: It’s inexpensive and high-quality. It was half the price of the “team red” tape I had prior. It is very easy to read, has markings down to 16ths, and this particular model (lefty/righty) makes it easy to read those marks on both sides of the tape. Accuracy is fantastic and the green color is very easy to see/find. Seems to be very durable and isn’t overly heavy and could fit comfortably in a pocket if needed. This may sound simplistic, but this is so easy to get back on my belt and stays very secure. Lastly, and probably my favorite feature, is the lack of slop on the hook. The “team red” tape had about 1/8″ to 3/16″ play when hooked, but the FastCap has little to none. Love that!Cons: None. Love it!Would highly recommend, and I will continue to purchase FastCap in the future and recommend to family and friends. Already got my kids one each and they love them!

The perfect finish carpenter tape measure with great markings and useful features.
I’ve been lugging around a cumbersome, fat, 25ft tape measure for finish work, and realized I rarely need any measurement over 16ft for finish work. Then I found this little guy at the recommendation from some finish carpenters. It’s great! It has every 16th measured out in its common measurement (1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, etc.). I don’t really need that due to years of conditioning reading a tape measure, but I find it oddly nice to have there. There’s a writing surface which is handy for recording measurements, and even a pencil sharpener. I use a Pica-Dry, so have no need for this, but in a pinch I could see how it would come in handy. I did try it out and it didn’t seem to be the most ideal sharpener.The stop action is nice. There’s a quick hold-down stop, as well as a locking stop. The retraction coil on the tape measure is quite strong, so be careful letting it fly back into the base. Don’t let the cheap price fool you. It’s awesome.

Best tape measure I’ve ever owned
There are few tools I find impressive and this tape measure is one of them. Strong recoil, logical and easy to read. Hands done the best tape measure I’ve ever owned.

A good tape, but not perfect. I don’t use the scratchpad.
The tape operates as it should, and is a decent tape measure. But there really is nothing special about it. There are some I just don’t like due to their imprint on the tapes (Lufkin). I have used Stanleys for a long time and I guess I’m used to their stenciling / tapes. Favorite is actually an ACE hardware branded tape (stenciled on both sides of the tape, top and bottom). I would say the belt clip is better on this than your typical Stanley though. It is nice to have the thumb tab to open it for easier placement on your belt / waiste band / pocket / tool pocket. But just like Stanley if you bump it, you will hear that tell tale thump as it hits the ground. At first I thought the scratch pad was a nice idea. But I have never used it. If I don’t have paper to write something down, I do like I have always done in the past and write it on a piece of scrap wood. It’s a nice idea, but it’s not easy to write neat on something small when you can’t lay or brace your hand against something. So, I don’t think the scratch pad is very pratical. Pencil sharpener is good for standard pencil, but not for carpenters pencil (on a tape labled as “Pro Carpenter”). Unlike standard Stanley it does have a retract brake on the bottom and I have used it somewhat. But at 16′ max length this tape probably doesn’t need it. It’s a good tape. But for me doesn’t stand out above the rest.

Excited about a tape measure
Less than $7 for a quality tape measure? Sign me up. I’ve been meaning to replace our old one considering it ticks me off every time I use it; it no longer stays locked. I was glad to find this one on a buy-it-for-life list, and on top of that, the reviews are essentially perfect AND it happened to be on sale! I am thrilled! It seems legit. Feels sturdy and the retraction is excellent. Only time will tell if it is truly BIFL, but at $6.70, it’s worth the gamble! Never thought I’d be so pumped about a tape measure, but here we are.

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.
