Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-25 Summary: More useful than I imagined ... When I first purchased this item I thought I would only use it occasionally, but it has turned into one of those tools that is one of my regulars. One of my particular habits is to evenly space exposed fasteners. It is a snap with this CenterPoint ProTape since all I have to do is just keep halving the distance between fasteners starting at each end until I have the proper number installed and there is no math involved - cannot get much simpler. Of course, it is easy to read, all of the markings are extremely easy ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-27 Summary: Great product, long overdue ... I really like the concept of this product, it's long overdue and makes so many projects easier. No math needed, just take the reading and find the same number on the other scale. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has struggled to mentally figure out half of 29 3/4" or some such measurement. This tape leaves little room for error or mistake and no calculator needed! I may need to order another for the toolbox as I know this one will get claimed by my wife! ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-22 Summary: Pretty good tape measure ... I am not a contractor or professional builder, have always done my own remodeling and basic wood working projects. After I retired we decided to build a large home that would be our dream home and a source of income as a Bed and Breakfast. I knew this project would take 12-18 months and I already had most of the needed tools. Several months into the job and seveal tapes later I was looking for a durable tape, my biggest issue is the wind blowing the tape as I tried to stretch it out for a measurement. Building alone, ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-17 Summary: Good tape measure, but too hard to lock ... This is really solidly built, and I think the standout works pretty much as advertised unless you have unrealistic expectations. But pushing down the lock button requires far too much effort - sometimes I push really hard and think it's locked down but then the tape suddenly reels back in because I didn't get the lock button down far enough. Maybe it loosens up over time. I sure hope so. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-13 Summary: Love my tape measure! ... I was on my way to a client's house to measure for new furniture when I realized my Stanley tape measure wasn't in the car. I quickly ran into the nearest hardware store and grabbed the first tape measure I saw. Thank heaven it was this one!!! I will never go back to my Stanley. It reels in and out as smooth as silk, is very easy to read, and is printed in the traditional horizontal manner on the front and VERTICALLY on the back. Why aren't all tape measures made like this? No more tilting your head to the side when ...more
