Reddit reviews FastCap PSSR25 25 foot Lefty/Righty Measuring Tape

Try this, it has fractions down to 1/32" and markings on both edges of the tape.

Lefty-Righty Fraction Tape

After being frustrated with a couple cheaper (and some not cheap) combination squares, I ordered the kit from Starret with the combination square, protractor head, and center head. It was damn expensive, but I haven't wanted to throw it across the room this far. My 2 cents there.

You'll also want a protractor, either from above or stand alone. Incra makes a good one: http://www.amazon.com/Incra-PROTRAC06-Precision-Marking-Protractor/dp/B00002255K

This has been by far my favorite tape measure to use. I have a couple in both metric and imperial:

This is a marking gauge, but you can get the one that has the measurements on it and use it for all kinds of stuff. Extremely useful tool:

This one I just learned about sadly, but permanently lives on my 24" straight ruler now. Useful for when you're transferring measurements or making repeated measurements and a square doesn't work (or isn't long enough):

And last but not least a marking knife and the biggest box of mechanical fine tip pencils you can get, with extra lead. Just leave them scattered around the shop, and when they all congregate (and they will), spread them back out again.

This one is my favorite. It's easy to read, reads down to small increments, the tape is sturdy as hell, and it has a spot where you can write your measurements right on the side with a pencil (erases easy).
