Title: Plastic, Plastic, Plastic
Review: I own a couple Stanley measures and now that I've had this one for a couple months I can say with some confidence that even though the extra width of the tape allows you to extend the tape further than a narrower tape, the other drawbacks exceed this benefit.So, the cons:1) the end of the tape is not firmly riveted to the tape, so you won't get accuracy to the 1/16, probably not to the 1/8th hooking or pushing the end to anything. You would have to start at 1" and go back from there.2) The body is plastic. I don't drop stuff unintentionally often. But sometimes my hands are full and I need to drop something a foot or two. With the metal case stanleys, it's never a problem. This tape, as other reviewers have said, is not strong enough to take much typical construction wear and tear. The case, after a couple months, is already a little loose, and that's just from frequent home use.So, all in all, not a real good buy for the frequent tape user, sorry to say.
