## Description

Stanley Hand Tools STHT30810 12' LeverLock Tape Rule

Review: Carry this tape in your pocket - I bought the 12' LeverLock tape because it is a convenient size to carry around in my pocket. It easily fits in my hand and the rubber overmold provides a comfortable and secure grip. The locking lever rests against my ring finger making it very easy to use. I compared its measurements against my 12" metal ruler and they agreed for both inside and outside measurements. There are a couple of downsides with the compact form factor, however. The tape is only 1/2" wide and will only extend out 36" without support. The numbers and markings are readable, but they would be easier to see on a wider tape. I also happen to have the 16' version of this tape measure. The tape is wider, stiffer, and easier to read, but it does not fit in my pocket and it tends to sit in a drawer. Overall, this may be the perfect tape measure to carry around in your pocket.
Review: Good functional tape measure - I love the Stanley Leverlock tape measure functional design... tape stays open when tape pulled out... and button on the bottom recoils the tape when pressed... PERFECT! While the tape measures work perfectly... the product description is not accurate and what I received is not what I ordered.. Ordered 2 YELLOW Stanley Leverlock tape measures like the one pictured and like the couple I already own... Received 2 bright RED-ORANGE tape measures... both with the exact same tape measuring functionality BUT NOT YELLOW as advertised and ordered The marketing packaging of the items received described "high visibility" tape measures While NOT the YELLOW tools I ordered...these RED-ORANGE items work exactly the same...so I have decided to keep them... just wish the product description had not been inaccurate

## Features

- As with all LeverLock tape systems, this Stanley 12 ft tape measure has a suite of impressive features.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not yellow, fluorescent orange! But functionality is the same
*by G***M on November 2, 2024*

I ordered two of these because they are handy. I thought it might be a one-off that the one I got was fluorescent orange, not so. The second one is almost brilliant enough to double as a night light. But I like the lever-lock feature and the size, so not worth the bother to return. If you're uncertain, give it a try, you can always return for "not as described"
