American Classic
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.
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!

My go-to tape measure
This is one of my go-to tape measures. They're cheap enough and yet they're reliable enough. They have a good balance of price points and quality craftsmanship

Old Favoritr
I grew up with a contractor step father. I learned to build with wood using one of these these tape measures. I'm now a retired pharmacist. I still work with wood and still prefer this particular tape measure over others I've tried through the years. Quality and performance. The best.

Best tape ever
Loves these tapes, has always been my GO TO tape. The affordability and the durability is amazing and the shop that I work at ( ACCELERATED CONSTRUCTION AND METAL ) goes by a standard certification of these tapes. And these always stay true to that industry standard.

Durable, accurate, and very easy to read
I have at least 6 Stanley Tape Measures spread out for work or home projects. This is one of my favorites because it is easy to read, it is very accurate, and it doesn't mind being dropped from time to time. I've used it quite frequently on projects and it has maintained the accuracy, winds up easily, and the tape has also held up without excessive wear or creases. It ...

Staniel has been with me for over 20 years. Multiple decks, 2 whole house remodels, so many cabinet boxes built. It's starting to show it's wear, but it has been a great tool.
