Battle of the Tape Measures: Which Brand Is Really Worth Your Toolbox?

1. Stanley – The Tape Measure King

Stanley tops the list for good reason. From the no-nonsense PowerLock to the rugged, jobsite-tough Fatmax (with 17-foot standout), Stanley offers something for everyone. They're simple, effective, and come in more styles than almost any other brand. If you just want a tape measure that works every time, Stanley is a no-brainer.
