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

i have bought 2 of these and after a year the spring inside goes very brittle and snaps leaving the tape recoil function useless. and the tape wont feed back in. ive just taken one to bits to try and re bend the spring so as to attach the mechanism and the spring is so thin and brittle i cant believe they are sold like this. the sprig has to be only about 10 thou thick and so brittle it will snap at the slightest touch. i would have put one star but ive had a year out of it.

Excellent tape measure with both metric and imperial measurements possible. Easy to read and of good quality as you would expect from a Stanley tool. Because of the 8 meter capability it’s quite large and heavier than the average tape measure but I haven’t found that a problem. Good item

床の塩ビタイル、ウッドタイルを貼る前の割り付け墨だし用に購入しました。割り付けがスムースにいき、重宝しました。センチも付いていることも。ホールセンターにも、インチスケールは なかなか置いてないので 助かりました。ありがとうございます。

Retractor broke on first use had to send back. Might have been unlucky but doesnt bode well

Great sturdy tape measure. I was fed up of waiting for my boyfriend to bring his tools and tape measure home so I decided to buy myself some.

Exactly what was required and exactly as advertised, easy to use and read

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.

How they can make a profit selling these at this price Ill never know. Quality tape measure. Nice and bulky and very wide tape meaning it stays rigid over longer lengths. Rubberised textured finish provides good grip. Highly recommended.

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.

Not used yet but hoping the brand name lives up to expectations
