Kreg KMS7723 1/2-Inch Self-Adhesive Measuring Tape (Right-Left Reading)

10/10

We bought this measuring tape to use for a family growth chart we created. It’s been a few years since we bought it and the adhesive has remained since the day we bought it. Would definitely recommend.

buena cinta, de metal y revestimento de polimero resistente, perfecta para mi taller tambien compre la otra, una es R a L y la otra es L a R

The description on both of these products by Amazon was very unclear. It is also misleading. In Amazon's description for both products, it says, "This 12 foot, 1/2 inch wide tape measurer has right-to-left and left-to-right reading options." THEY DON'T! Just to let you know, the KMS7723 reads from (Right to Left) only. The KMS7724 reads (Left to Right) only. I took a gamble and ordered them both because they had different item numbers. I received what I was hoping for. It clearly shows on the product packaging that I received as to which is what. I hope this helps someone out that needs to purchase tapes that read from one direction or the other or need both as I did so that you receive what you are expecting.

I installed it in the Kreg mini track and it worked perfectly. I dry fitted it first and cut it to length. I was concerned by some other reviews as to how I was going to get it in that tight track without it sticking until I was ready. When dry fitting I noticed it naturally wanted to go in on an angle from front to back, so I leveraged that. When I was ready to stick it down I deliberately slid it in on that angle, removing the backing as I went. When I had it where I wanted it, I simply pushed it flat.
