Stanley 30-455 25x1

I like this 1 inch wide plastic strap from Stanley. Bright bright yellow, held by a belt, does not pull the pants together. It unfolds gently and extends 8 feet before bending. 1 inch wide is easy to read. I have 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" wide monsters. They are too bulky to work with for the general practitioner. Trade at $6.50.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Poor quality measuring tape

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.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Best ribbon I've ever used

This particular Stanley ribbon is the best I've used in decades: it's as compact as it gets and allows for the critical length of 3" Calculated internal dimensions, the tape is strong and easy to read and everything works great. I can't find it in stores lately so I got it through Revain at a very attractive price with exceptionally fast free shipping. I'll be ordering an extra bundle just in case the "FAT MAX" phenomenon, which for the most part is the polar opposite of my favorite band, takes

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
