Product Description
Product Description
With a Tru-Zero end hook, a Mylar-coated blade, and a secure blade lock, the STANLEY 25 ft. PowerLock Tape Measure ensures precise measurements and long-lasting durability.
Amazon.com
The Stanley Powerlock 25-Foot by 1-Inch Measuring Tape is a classic, and for good reason. Designed for professionals and weekend warriors alike, this top-notch product offers maximum usability in all types of measuring situations. Equipped with a range of useful goodies, the highly-portable tape will meet just about anyones needs. Standard features include a lockable blade for precise measurements and minimal slippage, a belt hook for easy access, a 1-inch wide blade for easy reading, and 16-inch and 19.2-inch stud center markings. Plus, Stanley has added a heat-treated spring to increase the tapes lifespan.
Two unique features make this tape a standout. First, the blade is coated with mylar to help it stand up to abrasion associated with repeated use. Second, the patented Tru-Zero hook doubles as a pivot for drawing circles and arcs, and it automatically adjusts to handle inside or outside measurements. What this means is that the hook on the end has a small amount of play that is equivalent to the thickness of the hook blade. This is so that when you measure with the hook inside a stop (like a window jam), the front end of the hook is the zero point. When you hook it over the edge of a board, the zero point becomes the back of the hook.
Stanley does make a host of other measuring tools that may be worth checking out. At such a great price, most users cant go wrong with this one.

The Stanley Story
The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company located in New Britain, Connecticut; was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley. A few years later, in 1857, Fredericks cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and would go on to become its famous Hand Tools Division. Over the years, The Stanley Works has produced some of the most innovative and useful tools ever made. Among these tools are the Bailey Plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape rule and most recently the FatMax line of products. Today, more than ever, Stanley continues to be an industry leader in tool innovation. In 2001, Stanley introduced more than 100 new products, bringing to 400 the number of new products introduced in the past four years. As a direct result of Stanleys commitment to excellence, Stanley was awarded the Prestigious Golden Hammer Award, presented for New Product Innovation in both 2000 and 2001.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've used Masterforce, Milwaukee, Dewalt and even some of the fancy Stanley tapes. Masterforce tapes always twist, bend and break after only a month or two. Milwaukee and Dewalt are expensive and often teeter on rounded bases and the Stanleys offer useless features. If you're serious about your work and you need a tool that gets the job done, stick with these chrome Stanley Powerlocks.

Unlike the power lock 2 this is abs instead of metal but without knowing that it feels almost like a metal casing.
I really like that it has highlighted numbers in intervals of 16 inches. Makes finding studs and joists a breeze.
The only minor problem I have with it is that it doesn't have centimetres on it, but that's not a big deal for most applications.
