 What the heck is the best measuring tape? Oh, I would work. There's Paul Carlson here from Small Workshop Guy. What's the best measuring tape? Well, you can't answer that. Everybody's got their own personal opinion. I have maybe 12 different ones around the shop that I've tried. You know, they all work, obviously. Fact is today I ordered a couple more because I'm always setting them down somewhere and can't find them. And then I have to grab one of the others. And then there's things about the others that I don't like. So once you figure out a favorite one, get a few. Well, here's the one that I like. And let me tell you why. This is from FastCap. It's called the Lefty Righty. All right, what do I like about it? I like the fact that there's a screen on here that you can write on with and wipe off. So as you take that measurement, you can write on there right at that moment. I like primarily the tape that's on it. It stands out a long, long way, seven or eight feet easily. It's got markings on both sides. And depending on whether you're looking at it this way, this is right side up. But if I turn it around and look at it this way, it's also right side up. That's why it's called a Lefty Righty. Most of your other measuring tapes are one side only. What else do I like about it? Well, it will lock in place really, really well. Nice, comfortable trigger on there. There's even a second trigger on the bottom that if you've got enough hand strength, you can pull it out, press on that, and that'll hold until you let go. Anything else? Yeah, there is. There's a clip on here that you can actually push on the top of the clip and open up so that you can actually get it on your pants pocket or your apron or your belt or whatever, rather than struggling with these to try to get that over your belt. So I like the fact that that gap opens up. And finally, one last thing that makes this the best for me is I often use these Home Depot pencils. I buy them by the, by the gross and make sure I've always got two or three in my apron. And when I'm marking that off, I like a nice, you know, sharp pencil. They have a habit of breaking. I also use the Click Gear 1000, both the 0.5 millimeter and the 0.9 millimeter. But frankly, I find grabbing these quicker and easier a lot of the time, but I want to have a sharp point. So having a sharpener in there is just an extra plus. So that is what the heck is my favorite measuring tape. Let me know in the comments below what your favorite measuring tape is and why.
