It has its good and its bad

The good things about this tape are the long standout, and the over sized hook end. With the long standout, it is easier to measure long ceilings by yourself; but you could measure even further if it had markings on the back side of the tape as well. This is one thing I do not understand about Stanley, and most other tape makers. It is so much easier to read the back side of a tape when you are measuring above your head. The main gripe I have is with the size and weight. Sure it stand out 11 feet, but it weighs way more then all other tapes. The other problem I have is with the blade armor. It is there to help protect the tape in the first 6" but it also prevents the tape from locking in the first 6". So if you measure small things all day like I do, this becomes a problem.

Lets just say that I am still open to new tapes, but this tape still does its job.

Pros

11' standout, the hook end

Cons

weight, size
