FastCapPSSR-25 25-Foot ProCarpenter Lefty/Righty Standard Measuring Tape

This one has a LOT of first-class features. It's like a $40 measure, but for about a quarter of the price. I can't speak as to durability, but it feels and acts like high-quality. Brake button, sharpener, thump tab on the belt clip, super easy to read at any angle, soft rubber outer casing, whiteboard, oversized thumb brake slide lever and a bit lighter than my other pro 25' tape measure are all great features. My favorites are the readability of the tape, button brake and the tab on belt clip. I added photos showing all the special features.Due to the great value, this measure is an easy pick for most purposes. A runaway best choice. And the 16' version is a couple of dollars less. If 16' will suffice for max length, that's a good option as it will be much lighter.

I have a few tape measures, and this one by far is my favorite. The stop holds it in place, it's got a long reach before it bends and it is easy to read from both sides of the tape. Funny, but this is the cheapest one I own, but it is my favorite.

Best tape measure I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a lot. Easy to read and the double locks are great.

I bought this tool for my new carpentry hobby, and now I have to fight my husband for it (he forges)!

This is the best tape measurer I've purchase. Being left handed, it's easy to switch from side to side depending on the project.I will say while the first one lasted about 4 yrs of extensive use until the thumb lock broke. It's plastic and a metal one would've lasted decades. I'd pay more money for one made this way. We'll see how long the second one lasts. If only four years, then the search is on.

It’s just the best tape measure, period. Using anything else makes me realize how poorly they’re designed.

My favorite tape measure! I love being able to read the tape from either side easily. Clip isn't the best because it's not very deep. Wrote on side actually isn't bad.

Works well for a cheater measuring tape.
