Stanley Hand Tools STHT30810 12' LeverLock Tape Rule

There are so many to choose from and I can be picky, I prefer to see and feel products before purchasing. But, this one was worth it! It feels great in my hand, the size is great, not too bulky and not too small, the weight is great, it feels sturdy and well made. It functions just as it should and the tape pulls out smoothly and retracts without a problem. Also, the numbers are easy to read and the standout length is great! Very satisfied! Highly recommended!

Excellent product! Simple to set up, solid and long-lasting. Shipping needs improvement, but I like it overall.

Stanley is always good. I like lever lock tapes. This one is great for everyday carry. As was previously reviewed the tape markings are too busy, less unnecessary information would be better. And marks down to 1/32nd inch in the first few inches would be better. My old 16' leverlock is marked that way. I like the rubber grip surfaces on the top and bottom, makes the tape better to hold. All in all it's just what I wanted and needed.

Build quality seems a bit weak

its a good tape i have an older one and got this one for my wife

Was a gift for my dad. My son thought his grandpa needed a new tape measure. He loves it.

The perfect size for my shop. quality item.

This is probably the best general use measuring tape I've seen for the money. The ABS frame feels durable, yet lightweight and it's very easy to grip without accidentally pressing the release to retract the tape. The lever lock on the bottom requires a small amount of force and doesn't retract too quickly (the dreaded snap back).The tape itself flexes easily but it's quite durable. I tried abusing it a little by bending it around metal surfaces and snapping it back and fourth without any issues. The fractional scale and markings are exceptionally well printed and easy to read and the yellow paint feels like it won't flake off easily.The magnet is strong enough to pull the measuring tape without worry even on thin steel. It's also easy to remove if you don't want it in the way.Pros:- Well made and durable- Easy to grip and lightweight- Solid retracting mechanism- High quality paint and markings on tape- Strong magnet is useful and can be easily removed- It's cheapCons:- Metal clip on the side is a little small- Slightly bulkyIf you need a tape measure for woodwork, building, crafts and around the house I wouldn't hesitate on buying this tape measure. Absolutely worth the price.

Used it 4 or 5 times and the tape cracked on one side at around 9ft and couldn't get it back into the housing mechanism. Cheaply made to break this easily.

Just as expected. This is a great home handyman measuring tape

Zeer tevreden. Al lang bekend met Stanley gereedschap.

Das STANLEY Maßband (3 m) überzeugt durch seine hohe Qualität und Robustheit. Der Bandstopp hält zuverlässig, die Skala ist gut lesbar und die Handhabung ist sehr ergonomisch. Ein kompaktes und präzises Werkzeug, das in keinem Haushalt fehlen sollte. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Calidad Stanley... Y a muy bien precio. Es pequeñito, perfecto para llevar en el bolsillo durante el día de trabajo.
