It is now garbage
November 23, 2020
Customer review from stanleytools.com 
What used to be a quality tape that you could get several years of use out of, is now junk that is lucky to last a year. They ruined it. A few of the down grades include:
1. The blade lock is more of a blade slower.
2. After a few months use, it will no longer retract all the way
3. The old models had very crisp, clean hatch marks. Not so with the new model. My lines are smeared at 14"-16" and I've seen pictures of people that received ones with some of the lines missing.
4. No conversion tables
5. Old models were Made in USA and the newer junk ones are Made in France
If you're looking for a quality tape measure, you're too late and you should look else where.
30 years use and now there’s change...
October 3, 2020
Customer review from stanleytools.com
I have used the Stanley 16’ Powerlock with a 1” wide blade for almost 30 years. Great tape and it always had reference on the back of the blade on fractions, nail sizes and nails per lbs. The latest tape I bought does not have the info, it’s a small thing but was always a quick reference when needed. The new Tape seems to be the same quality construction that I’ve came to expect.
End hook is useless now
September 10, 2020
Customer review from stanleytools.com
The end hook is no longer relevant to its name
The engraved little tooth on the end hook are no longer manufactured that way
So it slips off the material every time
It will drive you crazy figuring out why the blade slips off the material
Best Tape For Cabinetry or Fine Woodworking

Customer review from stanleytools.com
Basically says it in the title. The best tape I've never used for my application. I'm having a hard time finding them now in stores and I'm down to my last one. I'm from Ontario Canada.
