Stanley STHT30830 LeverLock Tape Rule, 30'
Points you can use
Most Helpful Review:
I use this tool for all measuring tasks. The tool is easy to use and very accurate. The mechanism works as if it is still a brand new tool. I dropped it many times and still functions the same as when it was pruchased two years ago. So far very dependable and a must have tool. Unfortunately I accidentally stepped on it and now the tape has a diagonal fold between 1 and 2 inches. I wonder if this is covered by the warranty?

best tape measure I've ever had!
|I've had this rule for 3+yrs. and I love it best i've ever had [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Lock mechanism wears out fast!
|Lock mechanism wears out fast, I have had to open it up and put electrical tape inside, to get it working again. Not what I expect from Stanley Tools. Very disappointed. Why didn't you use something that wouldn't wear out so fast? I look after my tools, so it hasn't happened from neglect.
Dissappointed
|My tape measure is less than 1 year old. The LeverLock system no longer is operating. The tape no longer stay in place when extended. Without that feature this in now an expensive tape measure, that offers the same benefit as those a fraction of the cost. This tape is used perhaps 10-12 times per month.
Cracked at 7 ft
|Worked great until it slipped off a board measuring 8 ft. Slipped off the board, bent around 7 ft, upon further inspection I saw that it was cracked. I'm sure if I keep using it, itll eventually break at that point making it completely useless. Funny thing g is, I tried finding an exact replacement and can't find the 30ft write on lever locks anymore. Only can find the 25 ft ones or less. Little disappointed that I only got about a months use out of it, was expecting a couple years use out of this for something I thought was top quality. Didnt even get the blade dirty.....
Great tool - as expected!
