STANLEY Tape Measure Blade Armor 8 M Metric Shock Resistant with Mylar Coating and Cushion Grip 0-33-728

I love Stanley Fat Max tape measures, and at this price I love them more. Good quality, easy to hold, blade lock is easy, stand out is good, they are reasonably robust, and I like the pocket clip. Rewind is good but you need to control it so the tape end doesn't slam into the body.

I'm a tacker/dryliner and have found this particular tape to be the best I have used yet. The metric only markings make it far more accurate as you have metric markings on the top side of the tape so that when you are measuring across to the top side of the tape you don't have to guess where the metric mark is. As a result my cutting is far more accurate now and I can work to 1 mill tolerances without a fuss. Also because it's so sturdy it can extend out for miles without breaking making ceiling boards far easier to measure. The lack of imperial measurements is also great for winding up the old boys who insist on still using imperial measurements even though they are less accurate and quite outdated now.

Good quality

Only measures in cm, mm

I probably break one a year they get constant use all day. The 5 is too small and the 10 is so heavy. They are good value so can't complain

As a carpenter using a tape measure everyday I used to go through them fairly quickly in the dirty and wet site environment (1 every 3 or 4 months). This one so far has lasted me nearly a year. It has a nice thick blade, a lovely long standout for reaching points far away, the first 100mm or so is also extra plastic coated, so whilst past that the markings have started to come away and rust as they do with heavy use and always getting wet, the initial markings are still brand new, perfect for quick fine work. I bet mine still has a long life left in it, but when it breaks, of all the tapes I could choose from to replace it, I'll buy another of these.

Good value, solid tape measure. Does what it says on the tin.

I’ve been using this tape measure for DIY projects and it’s great. Blade feels strong, the case is sturdy, and the measurements are accurate. Comfortable to hold and easy to lock in place. Very happy with it!
