Eh. Good to have. I prefer the Stanley Fat Max, but it's smaller and a lot cheaper, so you get what you pay for. I know some people who like the lever clip and I'm sure it's comfortable, but I find it easier to slap it off the belt. But since it's lighter than the Stanley, it does less damage if it falls. I'm not a big fan of the little marks on the tape either, but they're not bad, just less than a big fat max. I'm on the second of these tapes now. On the other hand, the plastic deteriorated and the belt broke. I haven't broken Stanley's ribbon yet.
