I use a tape measure near daily. I'm restoring an old house almost entirely myself and I woodwork as a hobby. Measuring is kind of important. For 25 years a Stanley Fatmax 25' was my go to. I have had others along the way, but they would break, get lost or just get pushed to the side as I went back to my Stanley. But now that I'm in my late 40s and I don't see as well up close as I used to it's getting harder and harder to read measurements. The dashes all start to look the same after a while. So I went looking for something easier to read. Enter this FastCap 16' tape measure. First of all, I can't remember the last time I needed to measure anything longer then 16 feet. Maybe doing some work outside when I lay a new walkway or when I start rebuilding our 40' front porch, but I have a 100' roll for those kinds of things too. Carrying a 16' measure on my means it's smaller and lighter. Not a huge deal, but I have already noticed the reduced bulkiness on my belt and I don't miss the extra 9 feet. But back to the reason I chose this tape measure: visibility. This thing is so easy to read. The dashes are thin and clearly marked down the to 16th of an inch, with the 16ths in red. In fact, it's so easy to read that I'm confident I could use this to estimate to a 32nd of an inch even though that's not marked. The tape and real are also incredibly smooth. It's been a while since I've bought a new tape measure, but I don't remember any of them being this fluid even when brand new. It's weirdly satisfying to use it for that tactile feeling alone. I love that is has a second lock on the bottom that will hold as long as the button is depressed, and it realeases as you let go rather than only relying on the main lock that you have to push down and lock. It's great to have both options. The erasable surface is great for writing down quick measurements. What a clever feature! And another bonus is the pencil sharpener. I ususally use a mechanical pencil so I probably won't take advantage of this feature too much, but I'm sure plenty of you out there use a Ticonderoga #2 and it will come in handy for you. The kicked on top of all of these features that make this my favorite tape measure of all time, it's also one of the cheapest legit options you can find on Amazon. I think I might buy a couple of spares in case FastCap realizes what they have here and decides to double the price (I'd still payt it).

At the price and the fact, I got 2 of them I assumed they would be cheaply made. I was dead wrong, these are some of the best quality tape measures I have ever bought, sturdy design, proven by them both getting dropped by my kids within minutes of opening them. They have a good weight a nice thumb tab to open the belt clip for easy on off action, a sturdy tape black and red markings for an easier visual indicator, and one thing I was surprised to find is it has a pencil sharpener built in. And it is a good one too, creating razor sharp tips for precise marks. I had always used contractor pencils, but they are awkward to sharpen, have way too thick of a lead, and are hard to erase, plus they have no eraser. So now that I do more fine woodwork, I use a normal #2 or a marking knife followed by a #2 to make it more defined. So, this built in sharpener is a wonderful addition.

I rarely buy anything I say, I should get another. I bought a second one simply out of how awesome this is. What a value punch. Under cut stopper. Locker like normal. Easy to read. Pencil sharpener puts it over the flipping top man! If you're on a project and can't find a pencil sharpener this is bang. Ready to go. 10/10. Best tape measure on the planet for ANY job.

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.

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.

**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.

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.

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!
