DoubleTape 25' Overhead Measuring Tape

by DoubleTape

Product Description

DoubleTape was conceived and created by a professional tradesman who realized how much easier his work would be if a tape measure could be read from the underside. DoubleTape measuring tape will make any measuring job easier. The measurements are printed on both the upper and lower surface of the blades. Unlike normal tapes which buckle when turned over, DoubleTape blade remains rigid for overhead use. This saves time, effort, and frustration. With DoubleTape, take advantage of the excellent standout length; extend the tape overhead with one hand. Take the measurement from the underside of the tape and use your free hand for marking. You won't need to wrestle like you would with ordinary tapes, and you won't need a helper to hold the tape. Markings are in Feet and Inches with additional highlighting at each 16 inch length for marking standard studs. Additional markings are also at each 485mm interval for use with side studs.

5.0 out of 5 stars solid tape measurer with great feature, June 4, 2007

I've been installing laminate flooring in my basement and this tape measurer has gotten a lot of use. The markings are both sides of the tape are a cool feature, but more than that it's just a solid, sturdy, well made tape measurer. I have a few other tape measurers, but this is the one I always use. The tape is thick so it doesn't bend or fold easily when measuring long distances, it retracts like a mother, and the quick lock works well. If you're measuring things above your head, it's especially helpful, but even if you need to solid tape measurer that will last, pick one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Measuring Tape. Excellent Value!, June 2, 2008

I received this as a gift and loves it. It's got a nice heavy-duty feel with the solid grip. I was using it for furniture placement planning and found my old measuring tape limiting for large furnitures.

This tape extends to a nice long 25 feet, the curve on the tape prevents it from bending backwards, and there's measurement on both sides so you can easily read it when measuring something overhead (ie. the ceiling). This measuring tape is great value and a very useful tool for any home.

I've had this tape measure for a few years and it's been more then handy. The numbers on the underside prove useful in all sorts of circumstances and it's hard to remember using a tape without them. It has held up well to abuse and is still as solid as it was on day 1.
