Shop Stanley 5m/16' Powerlock Tape. Review: Very handy tape - This is a 5m/16ft tape with clear markings in metric and imperial units. Each 10cm and 12in marking is in bold red to help with measuring. The tape width is 19mm and has a robust 3 rivet end hook made of metal. The tape case looks like polished chrome metal - but it's not. It's made of plastic and only prolonged use will prove if this is a suitable material for a tool. But it does look and feel nice nonetheless. The size of the tape is about 6.5cm x 6.5cm x 3cm so quite compact and fits comfortably in the hand. The tape action is smooth without much friction. There is a black locking mechanism on the side that is thumb operated and works well. At the back of the case is a metal belt hook which is useful to have. I wanted a tape that could easily be used by one person when measuring long lengths and this Powerlock tape pretty much does that in a domestic DIY environment. The standout as it is known is how far the tape comes out before it collapses under its own weight. The standout for this tape is about 60in or 1.52m. My previous 3m tape could only manage a standout of 25in or 0.63m. So this tape is a definite upgrade in this respect. I have also used the more professional line of tapes like the Fat Max range and this tape compares favorably. This tape is less bulky, lighter and cheaper. So unless you are a professional using tapes all day long the pro quality tapes are not necessary. If you just want a better tape then this Powerlock is recommended. Review: smoothest tape measure I've used - I'm really pleased with this tape measure. It feels sturdy and reliable in the hand. It's easy to read, with clear metric and imperial measurements and smoothly extends and retracts, making it simple to take accurate measurements. The strong return spring, which quickly recoils the blade without any snags. The 5m isn't too big and perfect for everyday tasks around the house or workshop, and it's not too bulky to carry on a tool belt. Although I think I would like a 3m for wood wooding projects, leave the 5m for more building orientated stuff. Grate tape measure, but I have found the locking mechanism to be a bit stiff and difficult to operate at times. It requires a firm push to engage and release, which could be improved for easier one-handed use. You push to lock and aren't quite sure if it's locked or not as it doesn't "click" into place. It kind of feels like it should push further. Despite this minor issue, I still highly recommend it. ## Features - COMPACT & PORTABLE – Micro design fits easily in pockets or toolboxes for maximum convenience. - DUAL MEASUREMENT – 5M/16FT length with metric and imperial markings for versatile use. - DURABLE CHROME CASE – Strong, corrosion-resistant housing ensures long-lasting performance. - SECURE POWERLOCK SYSTEM – Locks the blade firmly in place for accurate measurements. - SMOOTH RETRACTION – High-quality spring mechanism for effortless tape extension and retraction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000X2CWV0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,885 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 18 in Tape Measures 404 in Power Tool Accessories | | Blade Length | 5 Metres | | Blade Material | Metal | | Blade Width | 19 Millimetres | | Brand | STANLEY | | Case Material Type | Plastic | | Case material type | Plastic | | Colour | Multi-colour | | Country Of Origin | Thailand | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,929 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03253560335533 | | Included Components | PowerLock® Classic Pocket Tape 5m/16ft (Width 19mm) | | Item Dimensions L x W | 5L x 0.02W metres | | Item Type Name | PowerLock® Classic Pocket Tape 5m/16ft (Width 19mm) | | Item Weight | 209 g | | Item weight | 209 g | | Lock Type | Micro | | Manufacturer | Toolbank | | Manufacturer Part Number | 0-33-553 | | Measurement Accuracy | The external information does not provide a direct measurement accuracy value either.
