Stanley STA130656N Pocket Tape, Dual Scale, 8m Length x 25mm Width

For the money this is a good product - at least the money I paid for it which, was on an Amazon deal. I think I paid about a fiver for it which is a fair price. I wouldnt pay much more for it because there are plenty of alternatives, some with names and some without that are of equal quality. Anyway, as a tape it appears to be accurate enough for building and carpentry work and isnt some massive thing you cant carry. At 8m it is long enough for most measurements you will need to do in a house and on site. Quality is mid range and the five quid I paid completely reasonable. I wouldnt spend much more because these things get lost and damaged regardless of how well made they are. Overall, a pretty decent bit of kit for the money.

Good quality measure - worth the money

Easy to use, sturdy, just what we needed

My friend loved thgis present6

does not flop about as cheaper tapes do easy to use single handed

Rugged, tough and well built. Hopefully it will last a long time but I guess thats why you pay more for a Stanley..

Strong, holds its weight when extended. Not like the annoying cheaper options.

I bought the 8 metre tape. As others have said. This doesnt wind itself back in as good as it should. The problem, I think, is that its a LONG tape measure squeezed into a small case so not much room in there for a decent rewind-spring. It would have been much better if theyd made the case bigger and fitted a decent spring in there. Others have said that its flimsy. I cant say Ive noticed that to be honest. I just dont stand there trying to see how far I can stick it out before it bends. Ive got better things to do. But with such a long tape in such a small case I can imagine the makers did use a thinner metal to get it all in there. But I havent noticed that but, as I said, it would have been better in a bigger case. All in all though its an average tape. Maybe with a bit of use itll start winding back in a bit smoother. If it breaks then it didnt cost a lot of money. If I was buying another I wouldnt buy this one.

Good quality and fast delivery. Thanks
