        Q:Specs for this tape measure (33-425D) say it's a 1/2" wide tape. That's incorrect. The tape is 1" wide. Please correct the listing. It's frustrating to go through the trouble to order it, only to pick it up and find that it's quite large.

          A:  Thanks for the heads-up on the description error. That?s a big discrepancy for anyone needing the 1/2? width.

              A:  My one of this model is measured at "ONE INCH" (1.0) wide. It is not 1/2" wide. A must tape measure for a good shop or contractor. Does have a little weight and bulk to it - for a reason = durability.

                  Hi used to swear by these…
                  I used to swear by these silver power locks and recommend them to people. I’ve owned several different brands and the classic Stanley has always held up the best… until now. In the photo the top one is over two years old the middle one is two months old and the bottom one is two weeks old. Bought one to replace a 4 year old one that the tape finally broke after having a knick in it for a year. Stanley has really cheaped out on the materials lately.

                        Stanley tape measure, were always a decent product. Now the tape itself seems to be made thin. I use a tape all day long. Don't think this one will last long. Already having problems with it retracting. I will switch brands after this one breaks, which I'm sure wont be long.
