Stanley PowerLock 16 ft. x 1 in. Tape Measure with Blade Armor Coating

This tape is a well made Stanley product; and have owned one for a number of years. Compact, 1″ wide, 16′ with great stand out. Think about it – 90% of measurements are less then 16 ft. Why carry a bulky 25 footer ? Buy two – in case someone else “forgets” to return yours. (It has happened to me) Money well spent. This is an item that needs to be an in store – up front item, instead of the multi-color plastic stuff made by – what company ?

my favorite tape measure, light, compact. perfect for trim carpenter, plumber or hvac installers. long lasting, this is my third on in about 6 years. 16′ with a 1″ blade.

Basically says it in the title. The best tape I’ve never used for my application. I’m having a hard time finding them now in stores and I’m down to my last one. I’m from Ontario Canada.

As expected, Stanley delivers a great product! Can’t find a better one for my needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality product , easy to use, long last, very easy to read markings, easy to handle,once locked in position it stays locked.

Doesn’t have all the features I wish it did, like numbers on both sides and a magnetic tip, but it didn’t purport to. Nice and stiff, durable, and operates very smoothly. No real complaints.

I have used the Stanley 16′ Powerlock with a 1″ wide blade for almost 30 years. Great tape and it always had reference on the back of the blade on fractions, nail sizes and nails per lbs. The latest tape I bought does not have the info, it’s a small thing but was always a quick reference when needed. The new Tape seems to be the same quality construction that I’ve came to expect.
