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.

I have used a lot of tools in my time so its always great to see small changes that are actually big improvements to everyday tools. Last month when I was installing lights in my celling the numbers on the bottom made it easy to see and mark accurate measurements when standing on the ladder by myself.
This product is very well build and rugged, the rubberized case makes it extra nice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
