I have had many many tape measures over the years. NO Stanley has ever worn out or actually failed on me... A few lost, stolen, crushed. But even my old Daddy's from the 1960's still works fine! So why did I spring the $15 for yet another everyday carry one??? METRIC! I seem to work with so much stuff that needs "metric" measurements now... Quality and all that is just fine as always... Some are worried about it being plastic, but it is the very high quality kind of plastic is very light weight, so zero worries. Not sure where it is made but I bet it has molecules from all over the universe. :D So just as expected, and it will work perfectly for me with no issues at all.

Good tape measure! 3/4” blade with one side inches and the other in millimeters, centimeters and meters! Works great and retracts fine! I checked the accuracy of the blade tip by extending and compressing to make sure it is the same measurement either way and it’s good! So I’m happy the unit!

Very nice tape measure. I use these at work and at home. They take a lot of abuse and hold up well

Spent 30 years construction, best tape measure ever!

As always Stanley Powerlock tape measures are built to last. this one seems to have a lighter gauge tape because it wont stay rigid when 8 foot is pulled out like the ones from 20 years ago. Still a great tape

This tape replaces a one just like it that was 25+ years old. At 85, I’m sure this tape will outlive me.

Been using Stanleys and others for decades. Some less expensive brands are good enough for occasional use, some seem just as good for moderate use, but this metric version of a classic best bet for hard use for just a few extra bucks.
