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

Great product would recommend to anyone

Solid and reliable tape measure. Ive used many other branded tape measures before and still come back to this Stanley one. Its just a toolbox staple item to me. Recommended without any hesitation.

Super length and sturdy

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.

Very nice and easy to use

I was forced to replace my old tape after Mrs C was trying to use it. I must admit it was way past.its sell by date the first couple of feet the numbers were worn you had do do quite a bit of guess work , which is not ideal in a measuring device. Plus it was split and had to be fed back in t the case carefully to ensure you did not cut yourself. This tape is wonderful in comparison ,the numbers are clear to read ,it pulls out of the case easily no need for a pliers as in my old one. And when you Finnish your measuring it slides back into the case with ease under its own momentum. I know I should have replaced my old tape with this a long time ago. But I am one of the if it can still be used dont replace it generation. This is a very good accurate easy to read general builders tape it should give me many years of service .

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

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

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.

Nice little measuring tape. Defiantly worth the money!
