[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my STANLEY Power lock as a gift, never before owning one. It might not be as durable as the FatMax product line but if you take care of your tools like I do, the weight reduction is worth the compromise when you have a framing tool belt to fill. Ever oz. You can shed off counts. Besides, my crew likes to use Milwaukee tapes, we compared the two and the wiggle room at the tip of the STANLEY Power lock tape is significantly less resulting in a more accurate measurement every time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it since the day I bought it, 8riginally purchased as a gift but I kept it and got my dad another one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 5 months ago and its really taken a bearing in the cabinet shop. Super awesome old school feel. Only thing I would change is maybe make the lock a little easier to push down.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know sometimes tapemeasures can seem kind of mudane, and its easy to grab the nearest cheap one hanging by the checkout, since it will 'get the job done', but I am here to say that if you want less frustration in your life buy this tape measure. I build patios, and measure a lot of things in super dirty and dusty conditions. One day in particular sums up the quality of this product. I was in a rush and set it down on the ground. Well an already sloppy spring day became much more so wet-cutting stone. Long story short this tape got so caked in mud that you honestly couldn't tell what it was. It just looked like a ball of mud. I picked it up, put the hose nozzle up to the thing sprayed it out until the water ran clean and the thing started working as good as new. It boggled my mind. That tape lasted until someone accidently hit it with a chainsaw.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing one of these every day to work for the past couple years. One of these are a necessity, considering I build doors at my job at a lumber yard.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had one of these for 20 years and it still works flawless, few dents and scratches but never fails.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is outdated. It was a great tool during its time, but that time has passed. The standout is nothing special, and the tip is basic. These weren't bad things until better things came along.
