Was initially pretty disappointed with this tape – the “auto lock” feature was worse then useless, as the tape always creeps backwards when extended more then a couple of feet, and always if held vertically. There is no manual way to lock it, other then putting your thumb on the tape.I did find a fix for this issue – remove the 3 screws holding the case together, and put a shim piece (I used small piece of a plastic credit card) behind the steel leaf spring that pushes the plastic wedge into the reel, in order to increase the locking force. Seems to work great now after this simple fix, no more tape creep. Seems like a poor design or poor quality control though – shouldn’t have to do this on brand new tape in order to get it to work as designed.Also worth noting – this thing feels pretty heavy!

I love using these Stanley tape measures. I own several of these. My one complaint which is a super minor one, is how the first 3 numbers on the tape are smaller than the rest of the numbers. For me visually, this bugs the crap out of me. Other than that, works great.

Bought this tape measure hoping it would have the rigidity needed for long measurements without a backing of any sort. It hasn’t been as good as I had hoped. Tape tends to twist and collapse long before it gets to the 11′ extension advertised.

I like it because you could read the numbers but it doesn’t hold up with it getting it wet

This is my husband’s favorite brand of tape measure. He is a carpenter and is extremely picky! It is a good one apparently. We couldn’t find it in the stores. We looked at several, so I ordered it online. Worth the wait.

Obviously doesn’t fold easily like the other tapes. Feel if you’re looking at a fat max, you’ve already tried using a standard tape measure and it failed to hold up. Which is why you’re here. Get it.
