STANLEYFMHT33706W Fat Max Keychain Tape Rule, 1/2-Inch by 6-Feet

I work as an industrial electrician, and it's fairly often that I need to measure things like cable trays, distances for free air cable runs (which can not exceed 5 feet in most cases), openings for fittings and couplings and many other things. And most times I don't have my 25' heavy duty Klein measuring tape on me because it's not in my field bag since it weighs 2lbs and takes up a lot of space in my bag. This tape will cover about 90% of the things I need to measure and is just 9 grams (0.01 lbs) and I can carry it with me everywhere. It's also just slightly larger than a toonie. This has greatly reduced the weight of my tool bag, and is much more convenient to carry around. I can't recommend this enough to tradesmen.

Just like a scaled version of a normal fatmax tape measure for the most part. It doesn't come with any sort of beltclip so I put a carabiner through the keychain to attach to my keys or belt loop.I also figured out it is possible to take a belt clip off another tape measure and screw it into this, I used one from a broken 25' leverlock tape. It has a tendency to spin so i put a tiny dab of "no more nails" away from the screw just to hold it from spinning. It honestly looks silly but makes it more easily accessed.Don't expect to do any serious work with it, but for various things it can be useful. I'd like if they made the lock a bit better quality though.

Awesome gag gift. Works for small measuring jobs but is only 1/2” wide so not very strong but works well for what I use it for. Easy to read measurements and smooth gliding in and out.Only bad parts I found was at the end of tape it is hooked onto spring not ro it’s so it can be U hooked and a pain to re hook and Home Depot sells these for $5

A previous reviewer said this tape measure is too big for the pocket. Maybe a little bit. You can get smaller one (which I had) but they are only 3 feet. In order to have 6 feet length, you need more bulk. All in all, it works just fine for me. Now, I ALWAYS have a measure tape with me, which is great.

I bought three of these and I found them so handy that I bought two more. The key rings are crap however, with sharp ends, so I threw them out. There must be about five people on the whole planet that know how to make key rings and I have not found out who they are yet.
