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

Ive been looking for a bulk amount of these kind of tapes for my welding/fabrication business at an affordable price. My local hardware shop has these for €18.99 EACH !!! I couldnt pass a pack of 4 tapes for the price given on amazon. They are built strong and the increments on the tape are very clear , accurate and I know will last years without wearing out. Would recommend these to anyone looking for a great quality tape at a very affordable price.

Had this tape measure for 5 minutes and its already back in the envelope to go back to Amazon. I pulled the tape out to about 7 feet but it would only retract to leave 3 feet left. I couldnt push this final yard into the reel. What it seems you have to do is pull at least 12 foot of the tape out and then it picks up enough speed to fully retract back into the reel. Unfortunately it is thin sharp metal and the speed of the retraction is out of control. The 12 feet of metal tape i would say retracted in under 2 seconds and at the end its waving all around the unit. I was holding the back of the unit to keep the metal measure away from my fingers but it still lacerated my hand. Kids find these things fascinating & fun but this can potentially do some serious damage to fingers.

Very solidly built, works exactly as described. Bought to replace another Stanley tape measure that eventually broke. It costs a little bit more than some alternatives, but the price matches the good quality.

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

Buon prodotto. Consegna puntuale

Like Andrex only stiff, strong and very, very long.

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.

Nice 8m tape measure. But why are the (predominant) measurements in inches? I thought “System Internationale” has been with us for almost 50 years.

Easy to use, sturdy, just what we needed

Good quality and fast delivery. Thanks
