Overview
A dual locking mechanism and a blade printed in both inches and millimeters drive this FastCap tape. The case adds an erasable notepad for jotting cuts and a built-in sharpener for the pencil, all in a small body that clips to a belt.
Two scales on one blade plus a place to write numbers is the reason woodworkers carry it. The small case rides easily in a pocket. A short blade means longer runs need a second tape.
Who it's for
Shop woodworkers who build to metric hardware specs and imperial drawings will get the most out of it. Anyone measuring rooms or decks needs a longer blade.
Pros and cons
- Metric and imperial on one blade
- Erasable notepad on the case
- Built-in pencil sharpener
- Dual lock prevents creep
- Short blade for room layouts
- Standout not stated
Performance notes
Readability comes from the high-contrast print and the two scales sharing one face, so watch which edge you read. The dual lock stops the blade sliding back while you mark. Accuracy over longer pulls depends on hook play, rated within the stated tolerance.
