Sturdy and Accurate
While no longer sold by Stanley, this 30 ft tape measure has given me great service for many years when I need to measure lengths longer than my 12 ft STANLEY tape measure can handle. My last project was digging up a leaking underground irrigation system and replacing it. Being able to work with a 30 ft tape measure for outside projects like this makes the projects easi...

Cheaply made
I have worked in the construction industry for 30 yrs. I have always used the classic Stanley 30 ft tape measure. In the last 6 months I have purchased 4 brand new tapes. Everyone of them has developed a twist after 2 weeks that won't allow it to stand out more than 3'. It also develops an arc in the first 2' of the blade that will not allow the tape to stay hooked as y...

Long life tape measure
I have had this Stantely tape measure for many years it was either my dads or my father in laws it was given to me years ago. Both were in construction. Neither one is with us any more so I don't use it much just keep it on my tool box for remembering.

Not good
The last two powerlock measuring tapes I bought failed miserably.
The first became twisted on the first few inches making it impossible to use. This happened the second time I used.
I purchased a new tape and used being very careful and gentle with it. This lasted one day. Not sure how, but it got twisted at about the 8 inch mark, making it again very hard if not impo...

The only tape measure you need!
As I was ending a project couple of months ago, missed place my tape measure. Purchased the 30ft Powerlock, and it has totally changed my perspective on tape measures. I can not believe I've gone all these years without this tool. Thank you Stanley, for making such a great tape measure!

The gold standard of tape measures
I've had Stanley Powerlocks for years. I've had this 30' for about 5 years now. It works perfect every time. The only reason I ever need to replace them is because I have left them in the rain or nicked an edge with a tool.

Well-Built & Reliable for DIYers and Professionals
This tape measure originally belonged to my father in-law, who had it strapped to his hip everyday for years as he built beautiful custom homes throughout Michigan. When he passed away, it was passed down to me, and is now on my hip as my wife and I renovate our first home together. This tape measure is reliable, well-built, and has withstood the test of time. Highly re...

40 years of Stanley tape measures
I've been a Builder/Remodeler for nearly 40 years and have owned and used hundreds of Stanley products. When I think of Stanley I think of tape measures. These are simply the best tape measures on the market today. They are extremely durable, ergonomically designed and very reasonably priced. Stanley offers a large selection of styles and sizes to accommodate the needs ...

Smooth Operation.
I got this tape measure to replace a Craftsman one which had broke after one year. So far this tape operates very smooth. If it lasts as long as my other Stanley tape (40+ years I would be very impressed.

25 years old
My dad use to have tape just like this one that I remember him using when I was really young. Now I have owned it since he passed away 19 years ago and it is still working perfect. It makes me think of him every time I use it.

Great Item
I've had mine about 10-15 yrs, still works great. Tape is splitting at about 14-15 " and need new tape. It looks like I'll just have to buy the whole thing. Too bad I like the scratched finish and paint specs.

Didn’t last two weeks!
I bought this tape at Ace. It didn’t last two weeks. Cracked at about 8.5”. That was it! Retracted tape, caught on case as it returned. Tore tape. Just got worse. Now I have 8.5” on my counter and a paperweight. I have to replace this tool. I’m not sure I’ll waste my money on another Stanley!
