Review: Best tape measure ever? - 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 desertcart. 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). Review: Great tape measure. No looking upside down for measurement! - Really great solution for measuring either way because the measurement is shown left and right. Other tape measures don't seem to offer this innovation. High quality. Small detail lets you use side of tape measure for making measurement notes. Great price, too! ## Features - The Standard/Standard Reverse features standard measurements that are readable when the tape is extended from either the right or left hand. - Easy-read fractions to 1/16in - Built-in pencil sharpener - Protective rubber boot. - Eraseable notepad ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001GUE3G | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,961 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #13 in Tape Measures | | Blade Length | 16 Feet | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Brand | FastCap | | Brand Name | FastCap | | Case Material | Rubber | | Case Material Type | Rubber | | Color | GREEN | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 8,500 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00663807980090 | | Included Components | FastCap PSSR16 16 FastPad Standard Reverse Measuring Tape | | Item Dimensions L x W | 3"L x 0.99"W | | Item Type Name | FastCap PSSR16 16 FastPad Standard Reverse Measuring Tape | | Item Weight | 272 Grams | | Lock Type | Dual Thumb and Finger | | Manufacturer | FastCap | | Measurement Accuracy | 1/16 | | Model | PSSR16 | | Part Number | PSSR16 | | Product Dimensions | 3"L x 0.99"W | | UPC | 300717142100 663807980090 600346738713 732454023020 300716033645 735090273392 304694890146 300717391775 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FastCap - **Color:** Black, White - **Item Weight:** 272 Grams - **Measurement Accuracy:** ±1/16 inch per 10 feet - **Product Dimensions:** 192"L x 1"W ## Images ![PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619v1FvVNAL.jpg) ![PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618GF584HfL.jpg) ![PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UkjsVbkyL.jpg) ![PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L0lq9BRaL.jpg) ![PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PkphG1iML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this blade truly white or light gray? I purchased a tape measure once that was actually light gray when I got it.** A: It is white. Definitely not grey. The visibility is very good with the white background for me personally. Liked it so much that when I needed to replace my tape for the table saw I used their fastcap tape for that as well. **Q: Do you have this tape in a flat back?** A: Yes, the flat back is nice for layouts where the tape stays out. Be aware that if it is extended a ways (4' maybe) and you rewind it quickly, because it is flat it has a tendency to whip and hit your hand (it hurts). I like that you can add pencil marks to it and then erase them. **Q: Is this tape measure class i, class ii, or unclassified? fyi, unclassified tape measures meet no standard and have absolutely no guaranty of accuracy.** A: I have bought a few of these and the last one was not accurate on measurements. Not sure about the class I would assume unclassified. They would not refund or exchange the product **Q: What is the little rocker button on the very bottom just behind the hook?** A: When you set it down and the other end of the tape is hooked onto a board, it keeps the reel from rolling up the tape. It sort of locks the tape where it is and stops the spring from pulling the tape back in. However, the tape's weight is not enough to keep the tape out unless it is hooked on something. then it stays... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best tape measure ever? *by A***W on January 24, 2026* I use a tape measure near daily.

Great price, too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice ruler at a fair price *by G***R on January 2, 2026* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - FastCap PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Fastcap PSSR-25 25-Foot ProCarpenter Lefty/Righty Standard Measuring Tape - SWANSON Tool Co S0101 7 Inch Speed Square, Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7595705-pssr-16-16-foot-pro-carpenter-standard-reverse-measuring-tape](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7595705-pssr-16-16-foot-pro-carpenter-standard-reverse-measuring-tape) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
