#HammerTimeSweepstakes The STANLEY® STHT30830W 30' Leverlock Tape Measure is excellent & well made. I use this several times a week. The numbers are clear, precise & easy to read. The Leverlock is easy to engage and disengage. I like that I don't need a second person to hold the tape measure down on the other end, because this is the perfect width & creates a nice sturdy feel. The base is flat and steady with a rubberized type of base, so it doesn't scratch my wood surfaces. This has a nice weight to it, fits in hand nicely & fits well in my toolbox too. Priced well.
I use this tool for all measuring tasks. The tool is easy to use and very accurate. The mechanism works as if it is still a brand new tool. I dropped it many times and still functions the same as when it was pruchased two years ago. So far very dependable and a must have tool. Unfortunately I accidentally stepped on it and now the tape has a diagonal fold between 1 and 2 inches. I wonder if this is covered by the warranty?
Great tool.

I received the 30 ft leverlock tape measure as a gift. It is since then replaced every tape measure I own is my go-to. The locking system is just as reliable as my grandpa's traditional Stanley tape measure, and the extra few feet have come in handy in a few tight spots. I highly recommend for any weekend warrior or professional. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I first bought a lever lock tape measure 2-3 yrs ago and loved the automatic locking, press to release approach that made way more sense to me. I then found packages of three, and got one for each of my brothers and myself. After about 1 yr of light use the 30' tape measure stopped locking the tape, it would simply slide (slowly) back in. In examining the tape measure I realized that the hard rubber lever was too big, and was bumping up against the yellow frame, preventing the lever from adequately pinching the tape. I used an exacto blade to shave off ~1mm from the rubber lever, and the tape measure works perfectly again! I am very satisfied with this tape measure and highly recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this tape for at least 15 years. Mine is a green high visability model and that is why I still have it, it is hard to lose because it is easy to find. I can extend it 80 inches before it collapses. It's accurate and convienient. I like the size of the tape, it's easily visable graduations and large enough to read without issues as a monocular 60 year old.
I bought this tape measure about 8 months ago when I was remodeling a room in my house. Had the leverlock feature which I found very useful and actually was the primary purpose I bought it since I was doing the remodel myself. I doubt I used the tame measure more than a hundred times in that period of time and over the last 10 or so uses found the lock failing from 0 to 12 feet the lock barely holds, and at measurements beyond that it fails to the rate of abut a foot every 30 to 45 seconds. I have no issue with the actual quality of the tape, but if you are buying it more uniquely for the necessary lock function I suggest you look elsewhere.
Lock mechanism wears out fast, I have had to open it up and put electrical tape inside, to get it working again. Not what I expect from Stanley Tools. Very disappointed. Why didn't you use something that wouldn't wear out so fast? I look after my tools, so it hasn't happened from neglect.
Worked great until it slipped off a board measuring 8 ft. Slipped off the board, bent around 7 ft, upon further inspection I saw that it was cracked. I'm sure if I keep using it, itll eventually break at that point making it completely useless. Funny thing g is, I tried finding an exact replacement and can't find the 30ft write on lever locks anymore. Only can find the 25 ft ones or less. Little disappointed that I only got about a months use out of it, was expecting a couple years use out of this for something I thought was top quality. Didnt even get the blade dirty.....
