What Customers Are Saying

The tape measure is praised for its sturdy, durable construction and easy-to-read markings. The dual-locking mechanism allows the tape to be extended and held in place without retracting, making one-person measuring more convenient. Users appreciate the controlled retraction that prevents blade whiplash, as well as the standout length of around 7 feet. Overall, the tape measure is considered a high-quality, versatile tool well-suited for various projects, though a few customers experienced minor issues like the clip breaking or the markings rubbing off.

Great tape measure.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this tape measure, it is nice to hold in your hand. It as rubber grip at the top and bottom allowing for a good non slip feeling. I like the DualLock feature. Only drawback is the small size of the hook, just prefer the larger hooks.

Fractions!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like that the tape lists the 1/8". So much easier to read if your eye sight is not 20/20.

Really Nice Tape Measure

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a sample. This Stanley DualLock 25' tape measure has some pretty nice features. It has a rubber top and bottom which gives the product a nice grip in your hand. It has a dual lock that makes the tape measure itself not retracting in on itself. You have to press unlock button to have it retract. It's a solid feeling tape measure. Nice heavy duty feeling to it. The button is large enough to use with work gloves on as well. It h...

Nice product - a couple suggestions

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the auto-'holding' positioner. Hard to read the length of the case 3 3/8" embedded in the plastic - maybe larger print or paint in the letters in black. Also, why such an odd case size? Maybe better if 3" - 3.5" or 4". Also would be nice to have a view through on the bottom to read the measurement - or even a clear view on top and print the back of the tape with the offset amount to be viewed TDC.

25 ft DualLock

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just used the DualLock tape measure on a job this past weekend and it was great. The tape has a awesome feature that allows you to get a quick measurement without tape retracting instantly. The tape is easy to read with bold numbers and printed fractions for fast reads. This tape is a vital tool for contractors, home owners, or classic DIY-ers.

Outstanding Tape Measure

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I happened to begin building an Aquarium Stand the day I acquired the Duallock Stanley 25' tape measure. The ability to pull the tape rule out without having to lock the distance in place was invaluable and I quickly embraced this new Stanley Tape Measure with great appreciation. You can also press the rocker switch to hard lock your measurement in place and then easily release the lock to automatically retrieve your tape rule. The tap...

Fun Function Tape Measure!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stanley Duallock 25ft Tape Measure is a very nice product. The form factor is pleasing to the hand and the unlock and lock buttons work smoothly. The tape itself is 7/8" wide with inch numbers in red, factional numbers are in black beneath. The tape measure weighs in at 14 ounces or 396 grams, which felt solid but not overly heavy. The tape accuracy was spot on and is easy to read. The chrome belt clip worked without issue and held the...

Dual Lock is a great feature

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 1/8 inch marking are very easy to read(even with out my glasses), Like the dual lock feature I can measure and leave the blade out knowing that when I get to the work piece that the blade will be out to where I need it. If a measure some thing at 7' 10 5/8 inches I can leave the blade out at 7' 11" knowing that my measurement was less. Blade is sturdy enough to extend over 8 feet before it bulckles. This will be my go to tape measure.

Nobody does it better

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly I can’t remember the last time I had my hands on a tape measure this good. I especially love the dual locking feature. Tape pulls out, you can lock it in place or do nothing and it remains easily adjustable longer or shorter. When you are finished press and hold to fully retract tape or let it go to hold tape in place. But the best part is tape is super heavy duty and can be held out to almost 8’ feet without breaking. I would recom...

25 ft tape measure

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good tape measure. I compared it to another 25 ft unit I have and the Stanley is much better. The numbers are large and in red so they are easy to see. The other tape measure has all numbers in black so they do not stand out. The increments of 1/8 to 7/8 are also larger on the Stanley. I still need readers for the increments but can get by without them in decent light. The tape measure feels solid and the lock and retractor...

DualLock 25'

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only been using this tape of a couple days so cannot speak for its long term durability. Due to its inexpensive pricepoint this tape would be geared more towards the homeowner/ diyer than a contractor. It should be compared to the basic or chrome lines and not against the fatmax lines. I will just write about my likes and dislikes Likes the DualLock seems to work well its nice that it holds the tape out without having to lock it whi...

Best lock system yet!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As you can see from the photo, I am familiar with quite a few of the Stanley 25’ tapes over the last 35 years. Without a doubt the DualLock lock system is the most intuitive and positive lock system yet. While the tape itself is not as robust as my FatMax tape, it is smooth, has a legitimate 7’ standout and the case looks like it will survive a lifetime of drops. I think this one may become my favorite!
