Save your pants! This is the best tape measure holder ever made!
I've worn out lots of pants in over 40 years of building. They just can't stand the daily wear of a tape measure clip that slides over the top of the front pocket (the very best place for ease of use). It shreds the pockets in a couple of weeks but I always figured that buying a dozen pair of new Levis 501's a year was just a cost of doing business. This pro grade tape measure holder neatly solved the problem, for less than half the cost of a new pair of pants. And I'm pretty sure it'll last for years.<br /><br />If you're a tradesman, I think it'll exceed your expectations as well. As simple as it appears, it's the best I've ever found (and I've tried lots of others). It's never in the way, even getting into and out of the truck. It's so comfortable that I just clip it onto my belt and leave it there, but it's easy to get on and off if I want to. Now my tape measure rides comfortably high, in exactly the position where I reach for it, without obstructing my pocket.<br /><br />Maybe best of all, it's secure and my rule won't jump off the clip by itself. It more than pays for itself by saving those embarrassing and supremely irritating trips back down to the ground when the tape's decided to jump for its freedom while I'm two stories up at the edge of a roof. I use it with a 30 foot Stanley but from what I can see it'd fit any brand or model of tape. I really like this thing and I'll be ordering more as gifts for my crew.
