Stanley STA033726 Fatmax Tape Blade Armor, Dual Scale, 8m Length

Es un metro tipo del Reino Unido que tiene metros y pulgadas/pies. Para los que no saben, es muy útil tener pulgadas cuando estas montando vigas y Pares de cubiertas. Normalmente las vas poniendo con espacios centrados a 400mm o 600mm pero los tableros de OSB o lo que sea en España normalmente vienen en 2440 X 1220 que cuando lo divides por seis sale a 406,6mm o por cuatro a 610mm, así que siempre hay que cortar el tablero y hay desperdicio. 406,6mm es exactamente 16 pulgadas y el metro va marcando cada 16 pulgadas, así que no tienes que contar cuando estas marcando ni hay desperdició de tableros, esta todo ahí marcado en el metro. Así vas trabajando mas rápido y eficientemente.

Good but still not perfect for me. Can be hard to determine the different mm

100%

Nothing more frustrating than a floppy tape measure if you’re trying to measure by yourself. This one is quite chunky and stays strong out to 3 meters.

At €19..(bought my last one on hear for €11) just great value for the pros and novice.

Not a lot to say about a measuring tape, easy to read and well made, had one before which took a lot of abuse, lasted a long time. Its quite large in size, so if youre looking for a handy tape maybe consider the 5m/16ft version.

STANLEY makes the most practical and trustworthy professional EDC tapes in the world. It features as standard a number of features that are overlooked by most other manufacturers. Check out how to use a STANLEY Tape on Youtube. This tape is no exception. It is perfect for solo measuring of large areas. It is versatile. Its sufficiently heavy to be missed if not on your belt or in your pocket. Its easy to read, even in dim light and its robust. It can be fed out (unsupported) for an impressive distance and is easy to maneuver to a fixing point. Sounds too good to be true???? Check it out.

Chunky and useless in the workshop unless working on big jobs

Sturdy tape, sadly mine developed a small nick at 450mm which rendered it useless as it would catch on the case upon retracting. Hopefully this is just bad luck as it was great while it was working. A million times better than the tylon ones if you are using it daily.

Used it today for the 1st time. It was heavy enough to stabilize an unsuported perspex sheet while I made some marks. Im glad to own this tape measure.
