Stanley Tools 30-455 25' Tape Measure

Bot a great price on six tapes. Yellow makes it easy top find. Yea! not metric. The only drawback is people want mine on the jobsite.

It's a Stanley, I've used this brand for more than 30 years now. For the money, it's a decent tape.... One that if it falls off a roof and hits the ground, I just grab another. I've built several houses from foundation to roof cap and doing 100 of everything in-between. For that I use a Fat Max, but these are great to grab a quick measurement. I have 1 in each tool box (4), 2-3 in my house, each vehicle (3) and a few spares. They're compact, light and work as they should. For a light weight tape, they bridge pretty decent also. I've not noticed a discrepancy in measuring like you'll find in alot of cheap tapes out there. The clips even hold up well after repeated use. I've had one die a spectacular death when it tumbled off a roof and hit the ground and exploded like an advanced "can of snakes" prank. They'll survive a slab on grade roof fall onto asphalt but tend to crack from a 2 story onto asphalt, but that's almost every tape out there though. I don't worry about loaning these out or loosing them, they're plenty inexpensive. I'm getting old and am retired now, but I'll always have a few of these on hand for random household or muscle car builds.
