I received this on 6th July 2018 (4 months ago) to replace a previous Stanley tape Bought . a measure I have had for many, many years. So far I am very satisfied with this roulette. I didn't have any tip breaking issues like some of the other reviewers. Also, I like the wide range of colors on this one more than on my previous version. I like being able to stretch it before the band bends. This is useful when I'm trying to measure some things myself because there's no one around to help me. I also like that the numbers and lines are bigger, which helps my aged eyes read measurements better and doesn't strain as much (note: getting old sucks). In any case I definitely recommend this product and have no complaints about it and I have been using it in the household from time to time for the past 4 months. PS My 8 and 5 year old daughters play with it sometimes and haven't broken it either. . Of course, they're not boys (and boys know the difference), but roulette still works. I am very happy with my purchase.
