STANLEY STHT30830W 30' Leverlock Tape Measure

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 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.

Nice tape but "leverLock" should be "NeverLock". Have had this for years, tape is still fine but I don't think it has EVER correctly locked in place. Finding it ever more frustrating whenever that bag of tools comes up in the rotation

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.....

My tape measure is less than 1 year old. The LeverLock system no longer is operating. The tape no longer stay in place when extended. Without that feature this in now an expensive tape measure, that offers the same benefit as those a fraction of the cost. This tape is used perhaps 10-12 times per month.
