STANLEY PowerLock Tape Measure, 16-Foot (33-158)

This is the standard tape measure most of us grew up using. Not fancy and works fine. Bigger than the newer round plastic models it still does the job just as well for less money.

As a DIY enthusiast and someone who appreciates precision, durability, and versatility in tools, this Tape Measure has truly impressed me. From its sturdy construction to its dual-scale functionality, this tape measure embodies reliability and convenience in every inch (or centimeter) of its design. One of the standout features of this product is its ability to provide measurements in both inches and centimeters. This dual-scale capability is not only a great addition but also incredibly practical, especially in today's globalized world where different measurement systems are used interchangeably. Whether I'm working on a project that requires precise metric measurements or collaborating with colleagues who prefer imperial measurements, this tape measure seamlessly accommodates both, ensuring accuracy without the hassle of conversion. Durability is another hallmark of the STANLEY PowerLock Tape Measure. This tool feels like it's built to withstand the rigors of any average job site or workshop. Whether I'm working indoors on a home renovation project or outdoors tackling landscaping tasks, I have confidence in the durability of this tape measure to withstand whatever challenges come its way. In conclusion, the STANLEY PowerLock Tape Measure is a testament to quality craftsmanship and innovation. With its dual-scale functionality, good-quality construction, and user-friendly design, it has become an indispensable companion in my toolkit. Whether you're a professional tradesperson, a seasoned DIYer, or a hobbyist looking for a reliable measuring solution, this tape is a worthy investment that will exceed your expectations time and time again.

Great sturdy tape measure soon to be extinct. Stanley is closing the only remaining American plant and moving all production offshore to Taiwan.

This is a simple 12 foot tape measure from Stanley. This is not for your garage or shop, but is a good tape measure to keep in a kitchen drawer for when you want to measure something. Being only 12 feet long this tape measure is not for your construction projects. Instead it is useful when you need to know how long or wide something is.

I have used Stanley Powerlock tape measures for a number of years. They have always functioned well. That's probably because they are made in American. That's another reason why I like them.

As always Stanley Powerlock tape measures are built to last. this one seems to have a lighter gauge tape because it wont stay rigid when 8 foot is pulled out like the ones from 20 years ago. Still a great tape

Works well like every other Stanley we've used.

I have had many many tape measures over the years. NO Stanley has ever worn out or actually failed on me... A few lost, stolen, crushed. But even my old Daddy's from the 1960's still works fine! So why did I spring the $15 for yet another everyday carry one??? METRIC! I seem to work with so much stuff that needs "metric" measurements now... Quality and all that is just fine as always... Some are worried about it being plastic, but it is the very high quality kind of plastic is very light weight, so zero worries. Not sure where it is made but I bet it has molecules from all over the universe. :D So just as expected, and it will work perfectly for me with no issues at all.

Proporciona precisão tanto para medidas internas como externas graças à pequena "folga" (intencional) na ponta. Compacta, o corpo adiciona exatas 2 polegadas à medida. E mede de fato até 10 pés (305 cm). Um pouco difícil de desembalar; apesar da indicação, é melhor não usar uma tesoura, apenas rasgar o papelão e depois remover o gancho para cima do plástico que é bem duro. O corpo é de plástico cromado, mas é bem resistente. Ótima opção para o dia-a-dia.

This is the antique one that I have been looking for. Compact and sturdy.
