excellent product exactly what was ordered highly recommend

I have been using the STANLEY Tape Measure 5m.16 Inches for a couple weeks now and it feels much more solid then the cheaper tapes I've owned. The grip is comfortable and does not slip in your hand. The lock mechanism and actually holds the tape in place without it sliding back. The tape itself has a good thickness and is rigid enough where it does not bend too easily when extended. Markings are clear and easy to read, and the accuracy has been spot on compared to my other tape.

I’m impressed with its quality. The bi-material grip makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use, even for extended periods. The 5m length is perfect for most of my DIY and home improvement projects, offering plenty of reach without being too bulky. The measuring tape is durable and feels sturdy, yet lightweight enough to carry around. I also love the smooth retraction mechanism, which makes putting the tape away a breeze. The clear markings are easy to read, and the tape feels accurate and reliable. Overall, this tape measure offers great value for money with excellent build quality and practicality. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a dependable, everyday tool for measuring.

Strong, clear marking, can be locked and good retraction. Great tape

Compré este flexómetro pro que el anterior que tenia se autodestruyo al caer al suelo desde 1m de altura. Este flexómetro es de muy buena calidad (es STANLEY y con ello está todo dicho) y tiene unos borde protegido por material de goma para evitar daños en una caída del mismo. Aunque en principio pueda parecer un poco caro comparado con ciertas marcas orientales de bajo coste, el flexómetro se amortiza solo y su durabilidad es muy superior a la de otros productos mas baratos.

I used this tape only 2 or 3 times. The tape stuck inside and cant use anymore

What more can i say - a quality tape measure from a reputable brand. Have been using this for weeks in the dirt and rain, and as long as I givd it a wipe after, it stays working perfectly. Markings are still perfectly readable. I do like other brands that have markings on the underside, but for this price point it's more than suitable.

it is very good pocket tape. it is the second i buy from the same seller

The mechanical action works as expected, the graduations appear to be accurate. Whilst I can't offer a long-term usage and durability review yet, this tape measure seems like it should go the distance (pun completely intended).
