Review: A nice ruler at a fair price - 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.
Review: Initial Impressions: Quality Item - Have had possession of this item for right at one month. Spring mechanism is strong. Belt latch mechanism is strong and has a push tab to aid in attaching and releasing from your belt. The thumb latch is a bit stiff, but I assume it will slide easier with more use. This tape also has a pinching mechanism on the bottom that allows tape to be held in extended position, and then released, by a single finger. Very convenient. Tape feels like it has a fairly heavy protective coating (Teflon?). Tape slides in and out easily. I bought this particular tape for woodworking. I like that it is readable from left or right, and markings are denoted down to a sixteenth. From a flat level surface, 57” above floor, I was able to extend tape to an unsupported length of 91”. Did not get to 92” before tape “broke”. Adequate for my needs. I will not attempt to speak to measuring accuracy, as I would only be making a comparison to one of my many other tapes. The one minor complaint I have is in the notation of the markings at each foot. Those markings do not stand out. But for woodworking this will be fine. For other needs, where I want to read feet, I may go to another tape measure. If any issues with durability, I will try to provide updates.

## Features

- The Standard/Standard Reverse features standard measurements that are readable when the tape is extended from either the right or left hand.
- Easy-read fractions to 1/16in
- Built-in pencil sharpener
- Protective rubber boot.
- Eraseable notepad

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this blade truly white or light gray? I purchased a tape measure once that was actually light gray when I got it.**
A: It is white. Definitely not grey. The visibility is very good with the white background for me personally. Liked it so much that when I needed to replace my tape for the table saw I used their fastcap tape for that as well.

**Q: Do you have this tape in a flat back?**
A: Yes,  the flat back is nice for layouts where the tape stays out. Be aware that if it is extended a ways (4' maybe) and you rewind it quickly, because it is flat it has a tendency to whip and hit your hand (it hurts).  I like that you can add pencil marks to it and then erase them.

**Q: Is this tape measure class i, class ii, or unclassified? fyi, unclassified tape measures meet no standard and have absolutely no guaranty of accuracy.**
A: I have bought a few of these and the last one was not accurate on measurements. Not sure about the class I would assume unclassified. They would not refund or exchange the product

**Q: What is the little rocker button on the very bottom just behind the hook?**
A: When you set it down and the other end of the tape is hooked onto a board, it keeps the reel from rolling up the tape.  It sort of locks the tape where it is and stops the spring from pulling the tape back in.  However, the tape's weight is not enough to keep the tape out unless it is hooked on something.  then it stays...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice ruler at a fair price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Accurate and Easy to Read - My New Go-To Tape
*by S***S on April 7, 2025*

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!
