Product Description
DoubleTape was conceived and created by a professional tradesman who realized how much easier his work would be if a tape measure could be read from the underside.DoubleTape measuring tape will make any measuring job easier. The measurements are printed on both the upper and lower surface of the blades. Unlike normal tapes which buckle when turned over, DoubleTape blade remains rigid for overhead use. This saves time, effort, and frustration. With DoubleTape, take advantage of the excellent standout length; extend the tape overhead with one hand. Take the measurement from the underside of the tape and use your free hand for marking. You won't need to wrestle like you would with ordinary tapes, and you won't need a helper to hold the tape.Markings are in Feet and Inches with additional highlighting at each 16 inch length for marking standard studs. Additional markings are also at each 485mm interval for use with side studs.

 Solid Measuring Tape. Excellent Value! June 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received this as a gift and loves it. It's got a nice heavy-duty feel with the solid grip. I was using it for furniture placement planning and found my old measuring tape limiting for large furnitures.
This tape extends to a nice long 25 feet, the curve on the tape prevents it from bending backwards, and there's measurement on both sides so you can easily read it when measuring something overhead (ie. the ceiling). This measuring tape is great value and a very useful tool for any home.
 No fractions printed on the tape measure July 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just received these. I bought 4 for gifts and personal use. But now I am disappointed. The product pictures show that the fractions are printed on the tape measure. But none of the 4 tape measures that I received by ordering from this merchant actually have the fractions printed on them (on either side of the tape). The fractions are very helpful, especially for people who come from countries where the metric system is used. I wouldn't have bought these if I had known that there are no fractions printed on them. However, they do a very good job of overhead measurement. I sat on my sofa and was able to touch the 8' ceiling with the end of the tape without standing.
solid tape measurer with great feature June 5, 2007
I've been installing laminate flooring in my basement and this tape measurer has gotten a lot of use. The markings are both sides of the tape are a cool feature, but more than that it's just a solid, sturdy, well made tape measurer. I have a few other tape measurers, but this is the one I always use. The tape is thick so it doesn't bend or fold easily when measuring long distances, it retracts like a mother, and the quick lock works well. If you're measuring things above your head, it's especially helpful, but even if you need to solid tape measurer that will last, pick one up.
Solid Tape Measure May 1, 2007
I just picked this up the other day and have found it to far exceed my expectations. This is not a flimsy tape measure. It has a solid casing and a strong end hook. I've broken off so many of these hooks in my time and this one is solid. Not only that, but the tape blade maintains its integrity over a ridiculously long distance. I'm very impressed with this tape measure, especially considering the cost.
DoubleTape is a great Father's Day gift! April 14, 2007
Last year I gave one to my dad who does all sorts of household and light carpentry projects and it was a hit. He and my mother just put in new den lighting and he felt that working overhead was much easier with DoubleTape. It's super handy to have the measurements on both sides of the tape.
