Tools and Hardware Reviews of FastCap Speed Clip, Tape Measure Belt Clip
Customer Review: Still the best tape holder I've found.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a woman, clipping a tape on your belt or pocket isn't an option. Because you're wider below the tape than above it, every time you bend or squat your hips knock the tape onto the ground.
I love these things because the tape stays in place no matter what I do. It's the only holder I've tried that actually works for me. It hooks over the belt (if you're wearing one) but you could also hook it into a pocket or directly to your wasitband.
The tape rides close to your body and doesn't catch on everything. No hulking great leather pouches or giant flaps of cordura. It's spare and almost elegant.
The pencil holder/sharpener is a good idea, but I don't use it. The pencil sticks up too high and catches on my shirt sleeves. Anyway, since I've switched to using cheap Bic mechanical pencils, the sharpener is superfluous.
It's a good thing these don't cost much, because what others say about breaking is true. They used to last until I lost them, but Fastcap must have changed the plastic formula. For the last year or so, they last only a month or two of daily use.
I've looked at other solutions, but this is still my favorite. I figure a tape holder that doesn't drop my tape every 10 minutes or catch on everything I walk by is well worth $24 a year (that's 12 clips x $2 each).
A few weeks ago the holder broke and I was out of spares, so I sawed off the belt hook part and literally bolted the plastic holder to a nylon tool belt. Since it's winter and I'm layered up with a couple of shirts and a fleece vest or sweater, I've been wearing the tool belt low on my hips like an Old West gunslinger. I'm thinking this might be the best tape holder of all.
