This little guy is amazing! I'm a sprinkler pipe installer so I carry a tape measure all day and it's very similar to a lot of the reviews here and it bugs the west when you get in your truck or go to the bathroom or whatever and the tape falls off you off. . There are definitely no problems with that. I will say that the base that goes in the jig didn't fit my tape measure (30' Stanley FatMax). But with a little effort and an X-Acto knife, I was able to remove just enough material to leave it sitting there. Big.
