Overview
FastCap designed this ProCarpenter tape for woodworkers and cabinet builders, with a metric blade that reads from either side. A lever belt clip, a pencil sharpener and a notepad are built into the case.
The reverse layout makes the blade readable from the right or the left hand, and the stud center markings help with layout. Anyone working in inches will find no inch scale at all.
Who it's for
A woodworker or cabinet builder who works in metric and follows the European layout will find the markings and features matched. Inch users should choose a different tape.
Pros and cons
- Metric on both blade edges
- Writable, erasable blade
- Built-in pencil sharpener
- Lever belt clip
- No inch scale
- Lock type stated two ways
- Built around one regional system
Performance notes
A wide blade stands out farther before it collapses, and the reverse metric printing lets the user read a measurement from either side without flipping the tape. The dual locking mechanism holds a reading, and the clear blade coating protects the markings.
