Review on 📏 Stanley 33 212: 12-Foot PowerLock Tape for Ultimate Precision and Durability by Ellington Gardner

Worked great until I pulled too hard and it fell apart. I've used Stanley's tools, including tape measures, since I was a toddler. Dad's tool was my first toy. I'm in my 40's and still have many of the tools he used including classic 1970's Stanley Powerlocks. They show use and abuse, but they all work just fine. I also have a plastic Stanley 12ft that works great and dates from the 90's. Now I'll admit that you shouldn't try to rock the rafters with a tape measure, but it should have some resistance to overstretching like all my old Stanley tapes. The one I bought from Revain didn't resist excessive lengthening at all. It happened after the return date so I just threw it away. I hope that if this is a manufacturing defect it will be fixed soon.
