Q:Despite the made in USA claim, every single Stanley 25' tape in my local HD is made in Thailand. There is a difference when you compare them side by side. The USA blades are bolder print and feel heavier. Are there no more made in USA ones?

Answer This Question

A:  I always believed they were made in the USA. It says it right on the front. No where on my tape does it say Thailand. I’m in Boston ma.

A:  Mine says that it is made in the USA and the blade is slightly brighter and easier to read than the one that finally broke after decades of use. I do not see Thailand referenced anywhere and the tool is great.

A:  I just came from my local HD. This tape for the special price of $7.97 is made in Thailand. The one picture on their site is misleading as it shows one made in the USA. Notice the other picts do not show USA.

    Q:Do they make a metal housing one still? Or is it all plastic now?

    A:  The 12ft is die cast metal. The 16ft and up are chrome plated ABS. Needing a short tape, went with the 12ft over the plastic 16ft. Still have some metal 25' working perfectly that just look like they were used building the Ark.

      A:  As far as I recall, the case has only come in a plastic version, and I have had my first one for over 30 years. I have found this model to be extremely durable, dropping mine all the time and from a good distance while on a ladder higher than 16 feet. I believe Stanley must use a very high impact plastic, which is designed to provide years of service for the professional contractor.

      A:  The 16 ft and shorter tape measures have die cast metal cases. The 25 ft and longer tape measures have ABS plastic cases.

        Q:When you look at the item individually, it says made in USA. When you want a 4 pack of the same item, it doesnt say made in USA. So is the 4 pak also made in USA? I prefer to pay a little more for USA product but it is not clear on HD website.

          A:  "Deficient products will be replaced if sent to: Stanley Black & Decker, 100 Passmore Lane, Jackson, TN 38305, Attn: Quality Assurance." It will cost $5.00 to mail it. They're betting you won't bother. Home Depot has a 90 day return policy...

            A:  Hi and thank you for your question. The tape measure has a limited lifetime warranty. For detailed information you can click on Info & Guides Warranty under product overview or visit our website: https://www.stanleytools.com/support/warranty

              A:  Don't believe so. Why would it? One of the most abused tools in the tool box and Stanley knows that. They're only $7 on sale, just buy a couple.

                  A:  As the packaging states, "with global materials". So, extrapolated from that misleading statement, one is lead to believe that this 25ft. tape measure is simply assembled here in the states. Be it as it may, it's a lot of tape measure for the money.

                      A:  For on the construction site, this tape is good and durable. This tape is narrower for my tool belt as compared to the Stanley FatMax. This tape is easier to store and pull out of my tool belt and dose not take time away from the job at hand. Bottom line - yes I will purchase this again when this tape wears out.

                        A:  It's made of 24 carat unobtanium and orphan tears. I have no idea, actually, but it doesn't flake off after a year or two like cheap garbage you'll only regret having wasted money on. Buy this, and you won't need another tape for a LONG TIME. This Stanley tape measure (and many Lufkin products like their reel type tapes) are the De-Facto standards of QUALITY. Most all the others only WISH they could build rock solid dependable gear like this, especially at it's price-point, on sale or not!

                            A:  Un-Obtanium Nitrate and Orphan Tears. Hoestly, I don't think you'll get an answer to this, but it's CRAZY TOUGH. It's the same material they've used for at least 45 years that I'm aware of - probably longer. It's made in the USA, and trade secrets are usually kept, you know, secret.
