Review: An exceptional tape measure for the price. - This is an exceptional tape measure for the price and has become my “go-to” tape measure. The qualities that I like the most are (1) it’s size (it’s very compact) and (2) the easy to read measurements…on both sides of the tape. But the thing that sets it apart for me is the writeable “pad” on the side. Why doesn’t every tape measure have this? I especially appreciate this as I’ve gotten older and can jot down 2 or 3 measurements that I will surely forget by the time I get back to my shop or saw. The pencil sharpener is also a nice little extra. It’s also a well made product and does not feel cheap. If I walked into a big box store and saw this I would expect to pay more than the other 16’ tapes on the shelf, but it is in fact less expensive (on desertcart). No hesitancy in recommending. 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). ## Features - Dual Reading Capability: The Standard/Standard Reverse features standard measurements that are readable when the tape is extended from either the right or left hand - Precision Measurements: Easy-read fractions to 1/16in for accurate measuring on every project - Integrated Pencil Sharpener: Built-in pencil sharpener keeps your marking tools ready for use at all times - Durable Construction: Protective rubber boot shields the tape measure from drops and daily wear on the job site - Convenient Note Taking: Eraseable notepad allows you to record measurements and notes directly on the tape measure - Professional Grade Blade: Features a one inch wide blade with four rivet nose clip designed to handle the wear and tear of daily use - Compact Design with Ergonomic Features: Includes an ergonomic belt clip for easy carrying and quick access during work ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001GUE3G | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,752 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #10 in Tape Measures | | Blade Length | 16 feet | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Width | 1 inches | | Brand | FastCap | | Brand Name | FastCap | | Case Material | Rubber | | Case Material Type | Rubber | | Color | GREEN | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,679 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 g | | Lock Type | Dual Thumb and Finger | | Manufacturer | FastCap | | Measurement Accuracy | 1/16 | | Model | PSSR16 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | PSSR16 | | Product Dimensions | 3"L x 0.99"W | | UPC | 300717142100 663807980090 600346738713 732454023020 300716033645 735090273392 304694890146 300717391775 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FastCap - **Color:** GREEN - **Item Weight:** 272 g - **Measurement Accuracy:** 1/16 - **Product Dimensions:** 3"L x 0.99"W ## Images ![ProCarpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape, 16 Foot | Standard Measurements Readable from Right or Left Hand, Ideal for Professionals and Home Improvement, 98009 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619v1FvVNAL.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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional tape measure for the price. *by M***N on June 14, 2026* This is an exceptional tape measure for the price and has become my “go-to” tape measure.

I was dead wrong, these are some of the best quality tape measures I have ever bought, sturdy design, proven by them both getting dropped by my kids within minutes of opening them. They have a good weight a nice thumb tab to open the belt clip for easy on off action, a sturdy tape black and red markings for an easier visual indicator, and one thing I was surprised to find is it has a pencil sharpener built in. And it is a good one too, creating razor sharp tips for precise marks. I had always used contractor pencils, but they are awkward to sharpen, have way too thick of a lead, and are hard to erase, plus they have no eraser. So now that I do more fine woodwork, I use a normal #2 or a marking knife followed by a #2 to make it more defined. So, this built in sharpener is a wonderful addition. ## 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.sn/products/7595705-procarpenter-standard-reverse-measuring-tape-16-foot-standard-measurements-readable](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7595705-procarpenter-standard-reverse-measuring-tape-16-foot-standard-measurements-readable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
