Customer Reviews

5 stars Great tape measure
This is a great easy to use tape measure, the blade will stand out for quite a distance and its very accurate.

5 stars Stanley Powerlock 30 ft. measuring tape
This was exactly what I was looking for and the price was perfect too. It came in plenty of time and I would definitely order from them again.

5 stars simple and reliable
Who doesn't know those tapes? They are used by contractors everywhere. This one is a 30 ft. one. It is heavy duty and reliable!

5 stars Excellent 1" measuring tape
Stanley 33-430 Powerlock 30-Foot by 1-Inch Measuring Tape

Pros:

- Based on the several of these I've used frequently for over 25 years, these high quality tapes have a long life.

- Locking lever works well with little effort, and the tape doesn't slip once locked.

- Spring assisted tape return is just right - neither too fast or too slow.

- Easy to read numbers and lines (to 1/16"), with stud markers every 16". There are no metric markings.

- Belt hook slips onto my belt reliably.

- Accuracy between tapes is perfect. There are no problems in measuring something with one Stanley tape and marking the cut with a different Stanley tape.

- Most tape holsters I've seen appear to be designed to hold the 25' or 30' Stanley measure.

- One inch wide tapes such as this Stanley are a good compromise between unsupported tape standout and tape curvature affecting an accurate reading. E.g., wider tapes like the Fat Max have longer standout, but you really need to push that tape edge down to make a reading.

- Even though a section of one of my Stanley tapes gets wet occasionally, I've never had one rust.

- At this price, it's a bargain.

Cons:

- Two improvements could be made: modify the end-of-tape hook to include a top hook, and the belt hook should "lock" onto your belt so it won't slip off so easily.

Summary:

If you need a 30' tape measure, and DON'T require the longest possible tape standout (as featured with the Fat Max style), this Stanley is a good choice.

5 stars Good Instrument
Big & chuncky, but good for its use. Numbers are a little faded in their coloring, but ink is durable.
