2.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea for a tape but not well made, January 21, 2008

I think the idea of a story pole tape is great but this product is not very durable. It slipped off my belt and fell less than 2 feet landing on a wood stair breaking the rewind mechanism, which released the entire length of the tape. I've had the tape less than a month and have only used it a few times. My 15 year old Stanley Powerlock has dropped from greater heights and is still working. I'm not likely to purchase another FastCap product.

great for what it is designed for, a story pole, but not so good as an all around tape since measurements only on one side

I own this tape and it has proven useful. I dislike the belt clip, it's almost unusable. Most times it goes in my pouch so it's not a major gripe but when I do want to hook it on my pants or belt it becomes a nuisance.
I like the area to write dimensions. Overall It's good but not great. Sometimes when grabbing the hook to pull out the tape my finger slips off, I think the hook should be a tad larger.
