Great product! Got this a few weeks back and already love it. The size is small so it comes in handy in a lot of cases and easily fits into your pocket. It is a simple tape measure and a bit old-school but it works better than my more expensive tape measures. Highly recommend!

Quick handy little tape measure. I use this in the office each day to verify sizes of deliveries. The decimal scale is nice to use to have as well. It has a 4ft stand-out. 6ft would be great on a small tape like this.

I’ve had one of these in my box for 25 years, it’s always been reliable and it still is. I got this new one because the numbers on the old one just aren’t as easy to read anymore. The new one solved that problem and there is also finer gradations marked than on the old one. It is also more solid feeling and the spring is better. I’m happy with it and would suggest it if you need a simple lightweight tape measure. Now if it only had metric markings on it too…

Exellent for fine detail precision work with first 6 inches in 50ths and 32nds. Tape is all metal and extends 4 feet unsupported. Tape is my goto when I don’t need a 25′ 1″ wide tape. Power lock is great. Everything about this tape measure is great and it feels good in your hand.

I thought it wasn’t to big or to small but after using it it felt like it wasn’t quality made, numbers to small on the tape itself

This 12’ Stanley tape is the perfect size to keep in your cup holder or pocket. As a contractor, I always have my 25’ Stanley tape with me on the job site but it’s sometimes a bit too big to measure out small jobs for customers. I will definitely recommend to anyone who needs a quality tape measure.

Received this tape measure a few weeks ago from Stanley. I gave this to my wife to keep in the house because she can never find one of my tape measures when she needs ones. This 12ft powerlock tape measure is small enough to fit in a drawer and handy for her to use to measure for curtains or furniture. It was also accurate for when she went to go buy what she wanted. Thank you Stanley!

This 12 ft Powerlock® Tape Measure is extremely useful. I love that both the metal case and blade are extremely durable and how easy it is to lock in place when I am ready to take a measurement. It’s easy to read the numbers even from a distance and the hook makes it practical for any type of measurement.

The Stanley 12′ PowerLock Tape Measure is the ideal size , handy , and very convenient to carry around. Fits perfectly into the pocket, a carry bag, briefcase or as traditionally worn using the built in belt clip. Very easy to use, all the markings are clear and legible. Just another great Stanley Tool.I would recommend this perfect sized tape measure to everyone.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED. THIS WOULD MAKE AN AWSOME STOCKING STUFFER. 1. THE BLADE IS STONG FOR A SMALL TAPEMESSURE 2. EASY TO READ/ QUICK GLANCE IS ALL YOU NEED 3. MY SON (2YRS OLD) BEAT IT UP ALOT EVEN DROPPED IT FROM ATTIC AND WORKS FLAWLESSLY 4. COMPACT TO LEAVE IN POCKET , CAR OR UTILITY DRAWER AT HOME. I WILL BE PURCHASING A 2ND ONE FOR SURE !

i got this a month ago and it is a little beast solid metal smooth operation but one complaint, the tape sticks out a few inches and the locking mechanism is a little stiff but other than that one of the better tapes i have

I’ve used this tape measure around the house for small projects. Also has worked great for measuring the height of our growing boys!
Annie Padberg (verified owner) –
So i received this and the tape was a little stiff and it had some trouble moving but a little wd-40 fixed it and the blade sticks out like an inch or two but other than that its awesome

This tape measure is compact and lightweight. It does not have all the features of a heavier duty tape measure but this is great if you need to carry it around with you. For smaller projects, this is great.

The power lock engineers scale was a pleasant surprise on the tape. As I do machinist work, the scale is very useful for layout work. I would recommend this tape to anyone wanting more precise measurements.
