FastCap ProCarpenter Tape Measures

June 16,2024

These tape measures from FastCap will change your life. All your friends already have them. Why don't you?.
A tape measure is a pretty essential tool that everyone, not just woodworkers, likely has lying around. Understandably, these devices may not be something into which people put much thought. Fortunately, the people at FastCap are not most people. Like nearly all of the items made by FastCap, the ProCarpenter Tape Measures seek to fill a gap or solve a problem left unaddressed by other available tools on the market. All of these handy tape measures have standard features that their competitors usually don't, such as a pencil sharpener, dual locking mechanisms on the foot and at the thumb lever, and an erasable notepad on the face of each tool. These features are great, but they are just perks; the real draw is the specialty functions. The respective models have unique scales that set these tools apart from their competitors and even each other. Each of these measuring tapes fills its little niche, whether it's simply making the measurement easier to read from either side of the tape or doing the math for you by calculating the hypotenuse between two legs of a right triangle. Features: - The FastCap 5-Piece ProCarpenter Tape Measure Set (100-113) - One of each of the five tape measures below. - PMS-16 Metric/Standard 16' Tape Measure(101-115)- The scale on one side of the tape is standard inches, and the opposite side is metric. These are perfect if you usually use an imperial scale but occasionally need to switch to metric, for example, building euro-style 32mm cabinets. - PSSR-16 Righty Lefty Standard/Reverse 16' Tape Measure (101-116)- Imperial scales on either side of the blade make these tapes easy to accurately read no matter where you stand in relation to the workpiece. - PSSP-FLAT16 Standard Scale + Story Pole (100-117)- A standard imperial scale on one side of the tape is complemented by a blank erasable area on the opposite side, allowing you to keep track of dimensions and layout duplicate parts without using numbers at all. - PS-16 Easy Half 16' Tape Measure (101-118)- With a standard imperial scale on one side and a half-scale on the other, all you need to do is measure your workpiece using the standard scale and then mark that position using the half-scale side—voilà dead center. - PSQ-25 Square One 25' Tape Measure (101-119)- This tape has a standard imperial scale on one side of the blade, but the other side has the corresponding hypotenuse for your particular measurement. The function is handy if you want to check for square on your project. All you need to do is measure and mark two equal distances on two perpendicular sides of your project, then using the hypotenuse of the scale, measure from mark to mark across the angle. If the hypotenuse matches up to the standard measurement, your angle is square. This tape is also helpful to find the exact length to cut a support brace between two equidistant points on a right triangle bracket. No math required..
