Ok, how many of you "cheat" when taking measurements and simply make a pencil mark on the tape measure rather than trying to remember wheather the board should be 23-5/8" or 25-3/8" long? I do it all the time, but have to admit that the pencil mark isn’t always easy to read. FastCap has made life easier with this new "story" tape. It has innovative, easy to read markings at every 1/16", of course, but more importantly, it has a special matte finish designed for pencil marks, and a 1/4" wide un-graduated edge perfect for recording notes (like 37-1/2" to top of cabinet) right on the tape. Now you can not only have the measurement right at hand, you can let the tape remember what it means for you. Made in China
