STANLEY 12' LeverLock Tape Measure

I bought this about 2yrs ago and have used it so much. I use it for measuring packages I ship, measuring furniture when rearranging rooms, measuring items at stores, and even when I build or plant something. The tape measure is very durable and doesn't bend like other brands I've used. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I carry this tape on my belt every day. I work in industrial maintenance and do woodworking, home improvement, and car restorations as hobbies and I use this tape for them all, unless it's not long enough then I break out my 25' lever lock tape. I like that the tape measure is small enough to carry on my belt all day everyday without it being in the way, but not so small that you can't read the measurements. I love the lever lock, no more pinched fingers from premature retraction.
