Review on πŸ“ Stanley 30-454 1 Inch Tape Rule: Accurate Measuring Solution for Professionals by John Raj

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No one-inch marks

When I read the description of this item and saw that the reading was 1/8 inch I wrongly assumed that this reading was ADDITIONAL to the normal reading in inches which is found on all other tape measures I've had. I was wrong. It had a reading in feet, a reading in running inches (like 30 inches, 31 inches, etc.), but no reading that told you, for example, 5ft 6 inches, which you can use to find out that your measurement is 66 inches , and mental arithmetic, but there is no convenient way to know if the reading equals 5 feet 6 inches. Since it's so common to find feet + readings in inches, I thought the description of the item should mention that it ONLY had 1/8" readings, not inches. It's well made but doesn't meet my needs , so it must be returned.

Pros
  • Resin-coated blade for durability; high contrast colors for better readability
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
