Designed specifically for the woodworker building to the european 32mm system, this tape has metric markings on both edges of the blade. Review: surprisingly excellent - What can I add to what's already been said? This is only 5 m, so more for furniture and finish work than construction, but easier to pocket or pouch than a big 8 m tape, and 5 m is plenty for most projects. The lock is ordinary, but the manual brake button is excellent. You quickly come to rely on it because it works so well. The hybrid belt clip (spring steel but with a thumb flange to open it) is also an intelligent improvement over the usual. Even the pencil sharpener turns out to be a welcome little addition. Sure, you have a knife in your pocket, but when you're up on a ladder and break your pencil lead, why whittle a new point when you can do a better job with just a couple turns, without putting anything down or fumbling for another tool? Best, though, is that this is metric-only, meaning both sides of the tape are useful, so you can pull from either left or right, double-mark your measurement for drawing perpendiculars, and tilt the tape whichever way works best to bring the scale flush with your work. I appreciate the apparent economy of printing two scales on one tape, but I'd much rather have 2 good tapes, one metric and one imperial, than one bastard tape which, half the time, the scale you want is facing away from you; even when it's not, the far side is useless for double-marking, so you have to shift the tape to achieve that precision. I haven't used the doodle pad. Well, I haven't needed to use the doodle pad. I tried it to see how it works (it does) but, frankly, 285 X 70 mm is incomparably easier to remember than 11 5/32 X 2 3/4 inches. Also far easier to read, add, subtract, multiply or divide. USA is facing the 21st century armed with an 18th century measurement system, holding itself back out of sheer stubbornness. That said, the doodle pad is another clever addition that's either extremely useful, avoiding the frustration of getting the saw set up and having to go back and remeasure because you aren't positive you remember right, or it's inconsequential because you always remember right. I didn't expect to like this tape as much as I do. From the bright-white background and crisp tick marks to that soft brake right where your forefinger lands, this is one well-thought out measuring tape. I could wish the back of the blade were marked with big bold numbers on a transverse scale (to be read while the tape is extended vertically) but maybe that's asking too much. This much will do nicely. PS: I said it's strictly metric, but 16" marks are in the center gutter for finding studs in North America. The 32mm marks are tiny dots on the main scales, but 16" marks are bold red rectangles with nothing in between, which is appropriate for their purpose. One more intelligent, thoughtful innovation! Review: A Solid Metric Tape for Serious Work - Alright, I've been around the block a few times when it comes to tools, and frankly, it takes a bit to impress me. But this metric tape measure? It's earned its spot in the toolbox. For years, I've been doing general construction in standard measurements and then switching gears to millimeters for the finer stuff, like cabinet and furniture builds. Always thought that was just how it was. Turns out, I was missing out. Having a dedicated metric tape of this caliber for precision work just makes things smoother. No more fiddling with conversions or second-guessing. It genuinely makes intricate cuts and joinery a good bit easier and more accurate. First off, the quality is evident. It's got a decent heft, feels good in the hand, and the blade recoils smoothly without any fuss, which is more than I can say for some others I've used. Beyond the accurate metric scale, they've added some genuinely useful features. The built-in pencil sharpener is a smart touch – always there when you need it, which is more often than you'd think. And that little circle you can write measurements on? Simple, but surprisingly handy for quick notes on the job. I'm usually not one to rave, but this tape measure has proven its worth. When it's time to replace my imperial tape, I'll be looking for this brand's standard version. If you're doing any kind of detailed work where millimeters matter, this one's a solid choice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GFHABG | | ASIN | B000GFHABG | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,983 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #50 in Tape Measures | | Blade Width | 1 Inches | | Brand | FastCap | | Case Material | rubber,steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,453) | | Date First Available | October 2, 2003 | | Date First Available | October 2, 2003 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00663807999535 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.01 ounces | | Item model number | PMMR-TRUE32 | | Item model number | PMMR-TRUE32 | | Lock Type | Automatic | | Manufacturer | FastCap | | Manufacturer | FastCap | | Measurement Accuracy | +- 1/16 inch | | Product Dimensions | 2.05"L x 4.29"W | | Product Dimensions | 2.75 x 2.75 x 2 inches; 0.01 ounces | | UPC | 663807999535 732454758335 733353544142 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FastCap - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Measurement Accuracy:** +- 1/16 inch - **Product Dimensions:** 2.05"L x 4.29"W ## Images ![FastCap ProCarpenter True32 Metric Reverse Measuring Tape - Ideal for Professionals and Home Improvement - with Lever Action Belt Clip and Dual Locking System - 16' - 99953 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Xs30eNuDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: the description of this tape indicates metric markings on both edges. does it have markings on the backside of the tape? if yes, on both edges? thx.** A: No markings on the backside. Has metric on both edges on top side. Has 16 inch stud spacing down the middle on topside. 16,32,48,64 etc. I like for metric reading, no English markings in the way. **Q: What’s the total length** A: 16ft in English and 5 meters in the rest of the world, unless you was born in the UK before the change over then you know both measurements and flit between the two. **Q: is there a 160mm on the tape?** A: At the 32mm marks there are little black dots, so 32,64,96,128,160 and so on. In the middle of the tape the makings are 16, 32, 48, 64, 80,96 (") and so on to the end of tape. Also in the middle of tape is markings at 878 which say True 32 base cabinet height, 1390 True 32 upper cabinet bottom position, 2158 True 32 top of upper positionfor 768mm upper cabinet, 2286 True32 top of upper positionfor 896mm upper cabinet, 2414 True 32 top of upper position for 1024mm upper cabinet and that's it I think. **Q: I am getting glasses online and all measurements are in mm. Will this tape measure work?** A: I wear glasses and I LOVE this tape -- and millimeters, too. I see no reason anyone with corrected near vision cannot use this tape. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ surprisingly excellent *by P***N on November 14, 2025* What can I add to what's already been said?
