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.

I was surprised this hadn't been done before and it seems like these aren't being made anymore, which is a shame. It's a nice tape, not as good as a Stanley but it can do something a Stanley can't. The big advantage to having the marking on both sides of the tape, for me, is measuring stock. Having the tape across the underside of a sheet or board instead of on top make it very easy to look down and see the edge of the board on the tape, rather then having the tape on the edge of the board and dealing with parallax.
For the price I'd recommend picking one up. They say you can never have too many clamps, I'd say that was true of tapes and levels too.

My husband received this for Christmas and has LOVED it!! He's had many tape measures in his life, but he said this has been the most useful and the most durable...that's saying something!!

This is a great tape. Well made. Operates smoothly. The lock is easily operated with your thumb. And easy to read measurements on both sides of the tape. Very handy when working overhead. The tape is narrower than my other tapes, which actually makes it easier to use. It is also stiffer, holding out well past 6 feet horizontal unsupported. This is now about the only tape I use. By far the best measuring tape I have ever used.

I'm not a person who ordinarily thrills on a tape measure. I'm not a carpenter, not in construction, never have been in a type of work where carrying one on my belt was part of the job. I use a tape measure around the house.... ummm... measuring things.
So, if you want a "pro" review, try some others. If you want the opinion of a retired old fart who simply appreciates quality, value and one heck of a bargain, let me tell you my part briefly.
It's neat that it will stand on end and reach the celing. A neighbor lady truly respected its stamina.
It has all the measurements I need, up to twenty-five feet. If an inch needs to be divided by more than 32, then I don't have any use for that inch.
It has those measurements on both sides, in case you're standing upside down.
The rubberized case feels sexy and grips firmly.
The wind-up gizmo (to use tech terms) works nicely.
Holding it makes a person feel like a pro, even when he/she's not. It's doggone weighty, that it is.
It has a belt clip so you can wear it to the supermarket, feeling like the pro you aren't. Until the above-mentioned weight pulls your pants down too far.
Priced in the six buck area on Prime seems almost obscene and I suggest grabbing this now because I doubt that Amazon will use it as a lightning deal since it's already priced incredibly low. Again, I'm no expert; but I do see a bargain here.
I'll betcha pros can see that, too.

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.
