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

Love it after all its a Stanley tool

Good quality measure - worth the money

Great tape measure. The only problem is that its so good, everybodys got one and you find people walking off with yours thinking its theirs.

I had one of these tapes years ago. Very sturdy and nice and compact. Works a treat.

Ive been using this Stanley tape measure for years and Ive never had any issues with it, have recently bought a new one because my old one was immersed in water and got a little rusty. Ive always found the quality to be excellent for the price, it slides perfectly, locks secure when required and us easy to read.

These are fairly good quality as you would expect from Stanley. (but not necessarily the case always nowadays as they seem to have introduced a number of sub standard items to occupy the value range). There is minimal give with the clip at the start of the measuring gauge, but nothing to throw your measurements out wildly. I bought these from Amazon when they were a quarter of the price at most other well known DIY stores.

Easy to read

Really happy with this item the lock is perfect it keeps it in place while you measure without springing back.

This was bought as a gift but looks sturdy and very fit for purpose. It arrived safely and in good condition.

As others have said. This doesnt wind itself back in as good as it should. It regularly gets stuck with about 2 feet still to wind in. The lock feature as well is also quite poor and regularly doesnt work. I only use it once a month as well for DIY purposes so its not like its as a result of overuse. It would also have been good if the metal was a bit thicker so it doesnt always require a second person to hold the tape if you need to measure over 3 feet, even if this meant it needing a bigger case.
