    A left handed measuring tape is really nice in theory but actually it often ends up being kind of backwards to how you’d want it if holding the tape in your right hand and pencil in left. I’ve actually heard some right handed carpenters prefer left handed tapes for that reason.

      I have thought about a left-handed tape but have never seen one to purchase. I do have a left-handed caliper though.
