I read some negative reviews about it and to be honest I don't understand them. I can't tell you how many times I've found when using two Stanley tapes that they can be up to 3/16 inch apart, but I haven't found that to be the case with FastCap tapes. I always prefer to have separate bands on the saw and where the job is being done. When you're on the shop floor, FastCap tapes are as accurate as you need them for the initial cut, and in some cases where tolerances are available, even for the final cut. Tapes are great for cutting PVC pipe accurate enough for any layout. The only downside I've found with these bands is that the belt clip becomes loose over time. While I've never lost a Stanley belt clip, I prefer accurate measurements to a belt or bag ornament. In addition, 16-foot headers and footers are small and easy to place in different places. I bought 3 packs and left one in the glove box so I never run out of tape. I have had many of these and unlike other companies I had one where the spring broke the first time I pulled the tape. FastCap replaced it with no problems.
