I bought one from Lee Valley. Do a search for 'Tape-in-a-Can' on their
website.

In the shop I don't miss it a bit. I really like the flat tape. On
the job site as a carpenter I don't carry it though.
Those Fast Cap girls in Atlanta were good salesmen too.

Keith:
They are made by FastCap, and they are great. The tape is metal, but has no
dish to it (flat) so it really does lay right down on the workpiece. On the
other hand, it would be almost worthless for carpentry work. We carry them
Part # FSC-4024 at about $7. They only come in the 16ft length, but that
shouldn't be a problem for most woodworkers.
