Stanley 33-600 30-Foot MaxSteel Contractor Grade Tape Rule Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned probably half a dozen of these tapes. As a remodeling contractor my tapes see alot of different uses. I have found this a good solid buy. The fat max is just too awkward in my hands. The main reason I am writing is to note that the previous review noted that the metal hook end of the tape wiggles about 1/8". THIS IS ON PURPOSE. When taking inside measurements the end will subtract the thickness of it's own metal by moving. If one were to rivet the end to make it stationary, either the inside or outside measurements would be off by the thickness of the hook.
