4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most, May 31, 2006

You will find most 16' tape measures on the market are basically toys. I have found only two that are made to almost the same standard as the more popular twenty-five footers. The Fast Cap is the better of the two. As a professional I will go through about four of these a year. Cheap enough, but I would rather pay more for higher quality, which I just can't find. My rating for this product is in comparison to other sixteen footers.

What a cool tape measure. You can view the scale correctly if you pull left or right. I like the 1/16" markeings for fast and accurate readings. The pencil sharpener is also very handy! I can take notes right on the white face of the tape measure, which saves me time looking for paper.

These tapes, like the other Fast Cap tapes offer a lot of nice features but their quailty control stinks. Despite that, I still keep buying them. The durability of this as with most tools is a result of how they are used. I've not had any blade breakage issues, but the clips do tend to wear out and break off. Not a big deal if you keep it in your pouch. The pencil sharpener is a great feature as is the write on pad. I use the flat tape quite a bit and the lefty/righty is one of my favorites. I rarely need a jumbo 30' tape with a 10' standout, (that's what lasers were made for) so this 16 footer works well for me and fits in my pouch, and hand nicely. I have found some of them to be 1/16th off, but I can work with that. In fact if you compare a Stanley to a Lufkin to a Starrett to a Berger etc, none will match up exactly to each other. All in all, a nice tape at a good price.
