GREAT TAPE MEASURE
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
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'
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
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 ...
