Title: Just A Paperweight
Review: Bought this to try since I usually work alone and could often use a little extra "reach" on my tape. While this one does provide a little more than my old Stanley Powerlocks, that feature is worthless because of all the effort required to get the lock to engage. By the time I get it locked I've shaken the tape so much that I might as well have been carrying a little pocket tape. I had hoped that after using it awhile that the lock would "break in" and become usable, but just the opposite happend - adding a little dirt made it almost impossible to lock at all. Also noticed that because of the large arc in the blade that the end tab needs to be longer; it doesn't want to stay hooked as well as my other tapes. Add in the overall bulk of the case and this is possibly the worst tape I've ever owned.
Is the review positive or negative?
