Extremely reliable tape measure.

Bought my first PowerLock tape in 1972 and it still works. This poor tool has had a rough life building concrete forms in the worst conditions. I now have several of these tapes but my favorite is a 16 ft. This tape is an ideal size and with me everywhere.

This is my goto tape measure. I do interior trim work and it's lightweight and accurate. It also has a durable blade. These tape measures will easily last me 1-2 years which is phenomenal because when I have tried other brands, the only last 1-2 months. I pull my tape measure out hundreds of times a day and this tape measure holds up. My granddad used it, my dad used it and I have been using it for over 30 years

tried and true classic

Would Recommend

If you want a darn good tape measure that lasts and works without being bulky, this is the tape for you. Ive tried many brands and styles over the last 25 years and always come back to the classic stanley silver 25 ft tape... It just feels right and lasts.

Black thumb stop, instead of yellow

I have about 7 of these and have lost 10-14 haha But I have loved them all the same. Until! I found one with a black thumb stop, instead of yellow!! Was this a fluke or limited edition? I would enjoy a few more

GREAT TAPE MEASURE

Would Recommend

I bought this tape measure several years ago and it has always performed well. It's easy to read and has all of the additional markings, such as 16 inch centers, etc. It was part of a 2 pack, so i have two of them. You can never have too many tape measures.

Daily driver tape measure

Would Recommend

Has been my favorite for over a decade now. It only lasts about a year but I’m using it 5-6 days a week. I made the mistake of buying a different brand that was a bit more expensive and I hated it. This one just works.

Powerlock 25'

Would Recommend

Chromed shell, easy to hold and use, has a holder for pocket use and for on the job, locks in place while measuring. It easily slides back in if pushed back when locked

American Classic

Would Recommend

An American Classic. With hundreds of tape measures on the market, and of the many in my possession, i typically use this one more frequently than any of the others. Easy to use, easy to read and lightweight, make this tape a favorite.

Can’t beat the original.

Would Recommend

Journeyman tile setter, fat max is what everybody likes but at the end of the day, the old studly Stanley can’t be beat. Keep a 25’ for lay outs and oh crap, wheres my tape measure and a 15’ on my hip for cuts and daily plans. All these other high end tapes fail from exposer to cements and dust.

Heavenly Tape, Works Extremely Well

When it comes to tape measures Stanley is the absolute best. I've owned several and have had this one since I first started my DYI projects. It was inexpensive but certainly not cheap. It still works like it did the first time I used it, and I believe it will be working when I leave this life. I just hope they have Stanley products in Heaven!
