The Stanley Story
The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company located in New Britain, Connecticut; was founded in 1843 by Frederick T. Stanley. A few years later, in 1857, Frederick’s cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and would go on to become it’s famous Hand Tools Division. Over the years, The Stanley Works has produced some of the most innovative and useful tools ever made. Among these tools are the Bailey Plane, the Surform shaper, the PowerLock tape rule and most recently the FatMax line of products. Today, more than ever, Stanley continues to be an industry leader in tool innovation. In 2001, Stanley introduced more than 100 new products, bringing to 400 the number of new products introduced in the past four years. As a direct result of Stanley’s commitment to excellence, Stanley was awarded the Prestigious Golden Hammer Award, presented for New Product Innovation in both 2000 and 2001.

Customer Reviews

DURABLE, RESISTANT
I have owned this item for over 3 years now and it still looks great as if it was new... It has fell to the ground many times, not a scratch ! scale easy to read ... I highly recommend this product.

This is a no nonsense useful tool...
I have owned many tape measures over the years and they all have good and bad points. This tape has several of the good points and it was inexpensive - at least it was where I got it!

I found this exact tape on sale at a local hardware store for $2.99. For that price, buying this tape was a no brainer. The plastic case is tough and fairly slip resistant, the blade lock works well, the blade is easy to read, and though it lists a "standout measurement" of seven feet, I have had mine out to eight feet many times. All in all, its a good tape measure that is a much better deal if you can find it on sale locally. Now that I have it in hand I am not sure I would pay over seven dollars for it, but that's probably just because I got such a good deal...

Anyway, its a good tape that feels like it will last a long while.
