The best bands available

They are good when you need metric and imperial sizes. I also like the fractions on the tape, they are much easier to read than all the lines.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to say

Amazing tape measure with metric and imperial units

I bought this product because I needed a tape measure that measures both metric and imperial units. This one does it very well! Both units are on the measuring tape and are easy to read. The tape itself works great. Thanks to Fastcap for making this product!

Pros
  • easy to use
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great for my carpenter husband!

My husband is a carpenter and all measurements have to be perfect. This tape measure reads both standard and metric sizes and when reading printouts it saves time as you have to mentally switch one for the other, especially with small measurements. They can be hard to find at hardware stores, so we're happy to find them at Revain.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Great but check for accuracy

I like fastcap tape measures. However, check the pressure. On my first shipment, the numbers printed on the metric side of the band were misaligned, affecting use. It was replaced and the next was fine. Also, be careful with these tapes, they bend easily and will no longer provide accurate measurements.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some difficulty

My favorite roulette.

I have ordered several of these because I love this tape measure. When I do custom work for myself I use the metric side of the tape measure as it's much faster to calculate distances in 10 seconds than in fractions of an inch. But since it also has inches, I can use it in any situation. and they go to my roulettes.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Compatibility

Like the notebook, not sold in the same scale by both In and CM

The quality is good, which is what I expected for the price. There are better roulettes out there if you're willing to pay a little more or are looking for sales/discounts. However, the reason I bought this device was more for the features than anything else. How many times have you worked somewhere, measured an opening, only to get to the saw and remember whether that board should have cut 17 5/8" or 15 7/8"? If you have such a problem, this tape might be for you. The small writing area on the

  • Stylish and modern design

Good, but not Stanley

Eh. Good to have. I prefer the Stanley Fat Max, but it's smaller and a lot cheaper, so you get what you pay for. I know some people who like the lever clip and I'm sure it's comfortable, but I find it easier to slap it off the belt. But since it's lighter than the Stanley, it does less damage if it falls. I'm not a big fan of the little marks on the tape either, but they're not bad, just less than a big fat max. I'm on the second of these tapes now. On the other hand, the plastic deterioratedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read blade with metric and standard scales
Cons
  • No automatic

Great, compact ribbon: I love the features

Great! After 6 months of use. Advantages: 1) White circle for recording measurements. Easy to erase with an eraser or saliva and a finger. I like that it's a bit difficult to erase to avoid accidentally erasing something. 2) I LOVE that the "16th" of each inch on the tape is marked 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15. I no longer have to look at the tape to make sure I know exactly which 16th I'm on. My eyes seem to be playing with my mind with all these checkboxes. It's like trying to read the UPC code. Thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • With integrated pencil sharpener and double locking system
Cons
  • Long delivery time

What real alternatives are there for both metric and imperial?

There is 1 Stanley 12ft double sided tape that will compete with this one and I have to get it for comparison but I can make a couple of points about the Adding information from another reviewer: this thing is pretty light, but a lot bulkier than it looks (much thicker even without the side-mounted spring clip). The tape can come back because you can just run it in at speed and then use the friction on the bottom as a brake without risking the end of the tape or your own fingers. I use aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Small 12ft tape is ideal for a carpenter
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
