The Stanley 25 ft. LeverLock Tape Measure features a magnetic tip, fractional markings and an automatic bottom lock for steady operation. The blade automatically locks at the length to which it is extended, allowing the user to control retraction and thereby reducing the risk of injury and prolonging blade life. A magnetic end hook makes easy work of measuring metals like pipe, beams and ductwork, while the fractional markings ensure accurate readings every time. The unique Write-On Label allows users to jot notes and numbers on the side of the tool with a carpenter’s pencil.

After owning two Fat Maxes with the traditional locking mechanism, I borrowed a co-worker’s lever lock and enjoyed using it. Then not a week later, I had an opportunity to test out the lever lock as part of Stanley’s product reviews program and it’s now my go-to tape measure at work (auto repair and general tasks related to the office and shop).It’s a comfortable size and weight for 25 feet and both the lever lock and magnetic tip are the main selling points.(Very) minor nitpicks:1. The magnet s strong enough to not separate from the metal surface it is attached to, but it will turn slightly as you continue to step away from the attachment point and extend the tape. Not a big deal. It doesn’t move so it’s still the correct distance being measured. Update: only with certain thicker coatings and non-smooth surfaces. Probably a nonissue 90% of time.2. It’s easier to pull the tape further out when the lever is locked than on a traditional tape measure, but it still holds well enough that you should not encounter any issues during normal use.Overall a very nice tape measure and you will not be disappointed if you’re a fan of the lever lock style (it’s hard not to be once you use one!). You will not be disappointed.

I’ve had this tape measure for a few weeks now and it is BY FAR the best tape measure I have ever owned. It is a very high quality tool – it’s got a good weight to it, easy to hold and use, and overall feels as though it will last. the magnet is strong, and the tape is accurate. The lock holds well and takes a good amount of force to press.The only thing I could complain about is that the tape took a few days of use to retract past 3 feet without assistance. It will easily bring the tape in under 3 feet, but needed a little help with anything over that. It is now bringing it in without issue at all lengths. Overall this is a great tool and is worth every penny! This is the last tape measure I will buy for a while.

I actually was able to use this tape this past weekend when redoing some electrical work around the house and have to say I’m completely impressed that the comfort and ease on using this tape was awesome. Thanks Stanley tools!!!

I was previously using a pair of weak dinky tape measures that were a pain to use. This one is much better. Strong, easy to roll up, and fits my large hands so I’m not fumbling with it. A+

I am a dewalt or craftsman guy, but with this tape measure I find it very helpful with fractions an to know what exactly my measurements are.

Super easy tape measure to use. I have used daily over the past month and it has held up great! The best part is the magnet, makes one handed use easy.

This 25 foot tape measure is great. The measure has a leverlock on the bottom which makes for easy one hand operation. The lock is on bottom of the tape measure it is the best. The tape has great print easy to read and has a curve to it that adds stiffness to the tape and the magnetic tip can be yse to great effect over the length of the tape, the magnetic strength is fantastic.

This is working fine. I like this one. I will rate it 5.

This recently became mine and my wife’s new favorite tape measure. The numbers are large and the fractional read is visible and very handy.

As a veteran user of tape measures, I have no need for the fractional blade however, when I am teaching those new to woodworking and carpentry I often find the student gets the concept of fractional measurement much faster with this tape. It uis a nice tape that is easy to read.
