STANLEY Tylon 8m/26ft Pocket Tape Yellow/Black, 0-30-656

really pleased

Needed a replacement so this looked fine. For me personally I find it a bit heavy so I dont love it but I went for the longer tape over a shorter one that I had before. Had to put my name on it though as most workmen use these and they nearly picked mine up.

Works well

So pleased I managed to find a replacement. After 15 years my beloved Stanley tape got over extended and broke. The weight and feel are very similar, however the rubber body bumpers makes it a more rugged and easier to hold in the rain. The biggest difference is the actual tape itself. It’s silky smooth and so much easier to read that the original because of the lack of reflections.

Other than that fabulous! Can’t understand why it needs to be this heavy though!

Feels sturdy believe it will last a long time if I dont lose it like my last one lost in my shed, cupboard etc who knows.

Happy with purchase, would buy again.

You just cant go wrong with this product. The lock mechanism hasnt failed me yet (after nearly a year of use), its been dropped from a height more times than I can remember, and yet it still works great. The tape comes back into the body every time without a problem. Its worth mentioning that its quite bulky and heavy but I like this - it just feels well made (and it is!). If you need a decent measuring tape, this is a good call. If, however, you dont quite need the 8m in length or require something you can carry in your pocket, you might want to go for something less bulky.

I now have 3 tapes in 3 strategic locations so I always have one near at hand when needed. This is the second of these I have bought. It is sturdy and truly fit for purpose and at just over £6, a fair price. Smart looking as well

Havent had any issues with this. Does what its meant to
