This is the best tape I’ve seen ever. One tape printed on both sides for right and left measurements with identifying 16th inch increments is perfect. As an afterthought, depending on your application there can be a lot of waste but it is likely that you only need this one item. Although it is not true peel and stick, there’s a reason for that and they provide the double stick tape separately.

Purchased to use for a workshop workbench. I liked that this has the fractions printed on the tape. I refurbished a couple of old 1970's heavy steel workbenches and decided to add a table top measuring tape. One table top is 60 inches and the other is 72. I bought this thinking I'd try it out for the 60 inch top, and buy another one later for the 72. The cool thing is, the tape is printed on both sides and has opposing starting points on each. This means that I can cut the tape from 0 - 60" and flip the remainder over and get another 0 - 72" (with left over) for the second table. No need to buy twice. The item comes with a separate roll of double sided tape which makes installation very easy. Position the sticky tape first and then apply the measuring tape. The measuing tape is durable metal and peals off the sticky tape easily enough to reposition. Once down where it needed to be it stuck quite well. A couple of coats of clear coat and you would think it was part of the table. As far as I am concerned, this is a great product.

I bought this for the express purpose to put it along the edge of my desk. I'm using the L-R format and it's great. It's dead nuts to the same marks as my Milwaukee tape measure, and the mm marks are perfect checked against various screw lengths I have at hand. Printing is crystal clear across the full length on both sides. In the imperial measurements, it has marks down to the 16th, marks for total inches as well as inches within the foot (e.g. 13" and 1F-1) Metric side is tens punctuated by hundreds (i.e. 500, 10, 20, ..., 90, 600, etc) - a little weird, but it works overall. I cut it down to the length I wanted no problem with a decent pair of household scissors - don't use the fabric or kitchen shears! I wanted rounded corners so I don't jab myself constantly, so I tried using a corner radius paper punch I have but it didn't have enough muscle. Instead, I filed off the corners, no problem at all with a steel file. The surface scratches fairly easily, so if that's a concern you might want to clear coat it or something. I have a feeling some of the numbers are going to wear off around where I rest my wrists. These things aren't a problem for me with my expected use, it'll just add to the character of my desk over time. Separate adhesive is neither a pro or con really, it went on easy, and it's silicone-based so it sticks great. It'll be nice that I have extra since I didn't use the entire length, so there's that I guess. There's definitely more than enough to do the whole tape measure.

Ok, so I love, love, love this rule so far. I refurbished my Unisaw and needed a new rule for the fence. I bought this because I have used Fastcap products before and been happy. I especially like their "true 32" tape measure. Its not the most durable thing but there is no other tape like it. This rule has the same diamond marks every 32mm. If you build a lot of cabinets you will know and love this feature. If you dont then its wasted on you. I have seen some other reviews complain about the adhesive being to small. I didnt use the whole rule so I cant speak for the length but it is probably about 5/16 to 1/4 narrower than the rule so you end up with about a light 1/8" top and bottom. The adhesive is very strong so no worries about it not sticking well but you might and I stress the word "might" catch something under the edge and damage the rule. The odds are slim but its possible. to fix that I went to HD and bought the gorilla "crystal clear tape" NOT the packing tape. Make sure to get the package that says "crystal clear" and I put a layer over the fastcap rule. WOW its amazing now. THe gorilla tape made the tape glossy and even easier to read and gives a nice layer of protection. I minused one star for shipping speed. Fast cap makes and sells enough products that Amazon should be handling fulfillment and offering "Pime" shipping.

This is a perfect replacement for the old tape on my Rigid TS3650. The steel tale is left to right and then right to left on the other side with the double sided tape separate. So what I did was I cut the left to right side at 0 and then positioned the fence 10” from fence to blade. With the tape positioned at 10”, I marked the 0 side of the tape on the rail. I then applied the double sided adhesive tape. With a little block magnet to hold the tape in place, I removed about 3” of the seal of the double sided adhesive tape and set the new tape on my mark, and then slowly pulled the seal off as I pressed the tape in place. Results-perfect!

This is one of those rare products that truly deserves six stars. • Most tapes like this are 1/2”, but this one is 7/8”, which makes the metric and inch scales much easier to read. • Most tapes only run in a single direction, so you need to buy two. This one runs both directions, starting from each end. Cut it in the middle and you get both a left-to-right tape and a right-to-left tape. • Most tapes are peel-and-stick, but this one comes with separate adhesive, which makes installation much easier if done correctly. Apply the adhesive to the surface first, then remove the backing and attach the tape. Pro tip: With the adhesive backing still on, place the metal tape on top and slide it back and forth until it’s perfectly positioned. Use a few inches of packing tape to hold it in place so it doesn’t move. Then remove the adhesive backing and start pressing down the metal tape. When you reach the packing tape, peel it off, and finish securing the remaining section. Metal tape itself is 0.13mm thick. Metal tape with adhesive backing is 0.40mm.

This was exactly what i needed! I replaced the stock fence & rails on my table saw. The new rails were not compatible, so I had to drill new holes which lead to the existing ruler being way off from the 0 point, and unfortunately it was painted on and not movable. This tape is double sided and zero-ed from opposite ends, so I was able to get both the left to right and right to left ruler out of it. No other product I found offered both. The tape is provided on a separate roll and it was plenty sticky enough that i'm not concerned about it lifting, but also it wasn't too sticky that I wasn't able to pull up the ruler and adjust a section when I realized it was going on crooked. I was also worried about the height obstructing or interfering with the fence running along it, but there were no issues with that. It looks great and best of all, my saw is back to fully functional so I'm delighted.
