had the old style greatest tape measure ever of all time [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have worked in the construction industry for 30 yrs. I have always used the classic Stanley 30 ft tape measure. In the last 6 months I have purchased 4 brand new tapes. Everyone of them has developed a twist after 2 weeks that won't allow it to stand out more than 3'. It also develops an arc in the first 2' of the blade that will not allow the tape to stay hooked as you measure longer materials. I bought one for my employee as well. The 2 tapes have almost 1/16" difference in them which makes it difficult for precise cutting of fine trims and crowns. Extremely disappointed with my old stand by brand. I will be shopping for a new brand

I got this tape measure to replace a Craftsman one which had broke after one year. So far this tape operates very smooth. If it lasts as long as my other Stanley tape (40+ years) I would be very impressed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

My dad use to have tape just like this one that I remember him using when I was really young. Now I have owned it since he passed away 19 years ago and it is still working perfect. It makes me think of him every time I use it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
