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

Excellent piece of kit. Strong, sturdy, easy to read & the quality youd expect from Stanley. Real value for money and a must for every tool bag.

Great New Tape measure to replace my old Stanley, Excellent Quality as always with stanley extra wide for sturdiness as well, which make measuring Easier.

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.

Perfect brand and easy to read. High quality product and perfect for my tool box! One of the best purchases I have made! Perfect measuring tool for any job! Highly recommend.

Does the job in hand , good make & locks and unlocks easily .

nice update on the 99e

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

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

This is a very high quality tape measure. I kept buying the cheaper ones thinking i could save money but that doesnt always work out. They either bend too easily and get kinks in or get jammed. So, i went and paid more for this good quality one. Glad i did as this should last a long time. So if you are on the look out for a tape measure get a good one. It will save you money in the long run. I learnt my lesson!

Sturdy replacement for one that broke.
