Tape Measure-Pencil Sharpener Combination-For Cabinet Work

April 23rd, 2011 1 comment

Now I’ve used hundreds of tape measures through the years. Until a few years ago, I had never seen one that has the measuring tape and a pencil sharpener combination before. The one featured in the video below is a Fast Cap brand. The combo tool is excellent for building or installing cabinets. I generally purchase two or three of them at a time. This ensures that I have one on hand to give away. I do this because this is the finest measuring tool I’ve ever used.

I’ve posted an affiliate banner that leads to the Amazon website. There you can purchase one of these. Once you land on their product page you will find several reviews that are extremely positive in nature.

Features:

Spring Clip-This is a unique operation that makes clipping the tape measure onto a belt or the edge of your jeans really easy. All you have to do is depress the clip and it expands. Slid it on your belt, release the clamp and it fastens securely.
