I bought this tape measure on the recommendation from "the woodsmith store" and a few others. I have to say I really like this product. I like the different features like being able to write with pencil on the tape and white circle on the side. When your done writing on the tape the pencil comes completely off. All my other tape measures the pencil marks were hard to see if they showed up at all. The tape extends smooth and returns well. The bottom brake works well and so does the top thumb stop. The belt clip is a nice design. It uses a thumb clip instead of the normal belt clip. It's way easier to to use this tape measure then all the others that I have used in woodworking. I love it so far. I totally recommend this product. I am definitely getting the flat one next.

I guess I've had a bit of an obsession with tape measures lately. Over Christmas I appeared to have acquired like 7 of them. I saw this one on a Youtube video and was like "Yep have to have it" and the price is great. Very easy to read, has features the big names do not have. Love the little writing area on the side. I didn't think I would use that and ended up using it the very first time I measured something with it. Highly recommend.

This tape measure is probably the best I've ever used! It is very durable, accurate, and retractability is top notch! Reading it is very easy to read. Will definitely be buying more. Best tape measure out there in my opinion!

This is my favorite tape measure. Only downside is the belt clip needs to be longer.Markings are legible, has #s instead of tick marks so that cuts down on mistakes. The pencil sharpener works, and the erasable writing space is handy.

Solid feel, good spring and lock, and the fact that you can read it left-handed or right-handed makes it perfect for accurate, no-thought measurement. Highly recommended.

With the measurements on both sides, it makes measuring a lot more efficient. The markings are clear and visible to see. The built in pencil sharpener comes in handy out in the yard and shop. Nice and well built feel. I need another one for the house now.

This came highly recommend and did not disappoint at all. Despite being cheaper than many of the big box stocked tape measure, I found this to be high quality and had every feature I need. It's now my go to tape measure and will be buying addition ones in the future.

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.

**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.

In my opinion, this tape measure is great for woodworkers and home DIYers. I use all the time in my shop and its nice not having to think about the measurements on the tape. It looks and feels sturdy.PROS:- Every incremental measurements are written throughout the tape and not just on the first 6 inch like other measurement tools.- It fits perfectly in hand ( I have a very avg hand)- The finger brake on it is great and allows you to take quick measurements without having to lock and unlock the tape- measurements are also found on both sides which is amazing if you need to take measurements on the other side.CONS:- I wish the hook was just a slightly longer to allow an easier grab from the start instead of having to pull it a bit then hook. But that's just me nit-picking a detail from a great tapeI would recommend this tape to anyone.I will update this review as time goes on and my tool get used
