Testimonials

Great idea. I can't wait to use it on larger projects as I have only tried it out to see how accurate it really is. No problems there.This tape will eliminate the need to make sure I always have a pencil with me. The line made is crisp and clear and the tape measure is well made.


The reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are that I would like to see is a way to anchor the end so that a circular pattern could be made and it isn't as heavy duty as my Stanley FatMax tapes. This tape still extends quite a ways, but will not handle a breeze without folding. Let me know if these things are improved and I would look at another! Also, make a 30' tape.

​I saw a video of this product on a Facebook ad. I'm generally skeptical of these types of products, as they're usually not all they're cracked up to be.

I was pleasantly surprised on this one. It is super handy and easy to use for projects. Particularly woodworking and drywall work. It's super easy to drag a straight line down a large sheet of material to make a long cut. Or pre-set the tape measure with a measurement and make your mark in hard to reach places.

My only complaint is it's a little dainty. Definitely intended more for a hobbyist rather than a professional. The tape is narrowish, plastic construction is adequate but not super durable. Belt clip could be better. For $20 it's what I expected, and still a great product. I wish they would make a contractor grade one with a metal body and wider tape, but I'm just being not picky.

How to read a measuring tape?

Here is a small guide which can assist you in taking the correct readings during measurements.

  • Find/read the markings. On a standard tape measure, the biggest marking is the inch mark (which generally has the biggest number, if it has them).
  • ​As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark.For example, ½" has a bigger mark than ¼" which has a bigger mark than ⅛", and so on.
Quickdraw Pro
  • Read 1 inch. The space from the largest mark to another is 1 inch.
Quickdraw Pro
  • Read one-half inch. Same principle as reading one inch, only this time the space between the second-biggest mark and the biggest is read. You can think of a half-inch mark as half way between a full inch.
Quickdraw Pro
  • The remaining markings follow a similar pattern. ¼" is half of ½". ⅛" is half of ¼". Most tape measure markings go as small as 1/16" . This tape divides one more time, down to 1/32"
