Not as good as my previous one. I love this band for the same reasons others have mentioned, 1" blade and light weight. However, over the course of a month the last 20cm of the blade has buckled slightly so the end is warped and difficult to get anywhere I didn't abuse it. My last cartridge of this model dragged on for years. This one is a month. I'm disappointed because I liked my previous cartridge. I noticed that the blade armor is only 3" long and the listing 6" says. I read in a reviewโ€ฆ

33-516 very high-quality tool

I'll start with a few minor cons: I was hoping that the decimal equivalents and other relevant information would be on the back of the strap.

Cons

Stanley quality control quickly drops

Have been buying these tapes for 10 years now but may need to find another reliable tape. I recently bought two more of these to replace a couple badly worn broken ones only to have the replacement damaged within days of use. I dropped the strap several times and noticed that the hook for the strap was on the floor. Picked it up and found that the plastic piece that the screw attaches to has come loose from the roulette body. I figured it was coincidence so I just pulled out a new replacementโ€ฆ

Pros
  • All blades are coated with Mylar polyester film for added durability. 16" and 19.2" center marks make carcass work easier
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
