Review on πŸ“ Stanley 33-730 30ft 4in Measuring Tape by Robert Yates

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Another stupid tape measure

How long has Stanley been selling his junk without testing it in the field? When you pull the tape over something, hook the blade first. Good luck trying to make it with that or whatever "fat" cartridge they release in bulk. The hook of the blade is not visible. You can't just plug it in and walk away. Then there is the castle. You'll develop carpal tunnel syndrome trying to fix a blade that's so difficult to use. Then there is the spring force. Blade engagement and locking issues are only made worse by the heavy spring load on the blade attempting to retract itself. What should be a simple attempt to measure becomes a complex process with this tape measure. i hate roulette I hate Stanley the most!
