Great
I didn't realise my old tape measure was so crappy until I got this one. So easy to pull out and lock into place. Nice that it shows both metric and imperial measurements on the same side.

Excellent value
Bought for casual (i.e. non-trade) use. Nicely made, extends smoothly well beyond 1m without bending significantly. Light and comfortably compact for a 5m metal rule. Easy to read, Dual units, various certifications printed onto the tape. For this price, really a no-brainier!

Durable, Comfortable, and Well-Made
This is a classic Stanley product — simple, reliable, and made to last. The tape measure is easy to read in both metric and imperial, and the standout feature is the compact, rubberized case that feels secure and comfortable in the hand. The retraction is strong without being dangerous, and the clip makes it easy to carry around on a belt. A solid tool I’ll be using regularly.

Stanley Quality and accuracy
What more can i say - a quality tape measure from a reputable brand. Have been using this for weeks in the dirt and rain, and as long as I givd it a wipe after, it stays working perfectly. Markings are still perfectly readable. I do like other brands that have markings on the underside, but for this price point it's more than suitable.

便利スケール
床の塩ビタイル、ウッドタイルを貼る前の割り付け墨だし用に購入しました。割り付けがスムースにいき、重宝しました。センチも付いていることも。ホールセンターにも、インチスケールは なかなか置いてないので 助かりました。ありがとうございます。
