The measuring tape has a thin polymer coating. The metal band bends slightly, the edge breaks and the metal eventually splinteres. Stanley used to sell a 1" wide tape with their higher quality BladeArmor coating, which is now only available for the wider (1 1/4") tape. Stanley sells 1 inch wide Tylon coated tapes which could have a better coating. The 25 foot tape reviewed here is of much lower quality than other Stanley alternatives. But there is also a cheaper way.
