Fast Cap really does a decent job with this tape measure. Things that stand out include a strong spring but easy to operate lock. The belt clip is a spring lever that you can release (most other fixed spring clips eventually wear away my work pants or nail bags where it attaches.) Also, has a blank label to write on, much like Festool tapes.<br /><br />The markings are accurate and easy to read. I needed a tape in metric sizes, and I have never been a fan of tapes with metric on one side and imperial on other-- they are too cluttered and hard to read (much like fractional tapes). Plus, having the scale on both sides makes measuring all applications easier. As a bonus, the tape has imperial 16" centers marked and some common cabinet dimensions without cluttering it up, which is helpful with stud locations and 4x8 sheet goods
