In those days, it was made in the US of steel tape. I finally fell apart after 30 years. The Starrett 50 ft. was installed in its place. It is a Chinese tape. This lasted a total of 7 days before the plastic pin holding the handle to the handle This pin should have been made of steel, but the plastic version was chosen to save a few cents on production and to boost profit margins. The broken handle on the tape gave me as good a measurement as I could, so I used it as best I could. The tape itself broke three days after it was created. The tool allowed me to use it for a period of 10 days. For a tape to equal the lifespan of the Craftsmen tape, I would have to buy 1,080 Starrett tapes, at $28, each demonstrating a life expectancy of 10 days. There are 77 of them, costing In the grasshopper business, the cheapest isn't always the best. In an Ebay search, hundreds of lightly used vintage US made 50 foot steel tapes could be found for about the same price as the 10 day disposable tapes. In looking back at this fiasco, I think we should have a harder time making seemingly simple purchases, as well as treading a little lighter on the surface of our lives Planet that cannot be repaired. That's all I have to say, there is no more to say.
It comes out of the package brand new. I hope to make another trip to this restaurant and have a better experience this time. Founded in 1887, Starrett Tools was synonymous with quality, and as a precision millwright, I rely on their products. Lately I haven't had the best experience with Starrett.

It is the picture that depicts the truth, and it is the description that represents The tool must be returned to its owner.
I finally broke the same model that has been around for 30 years. We replaced it with this one since it's same model, but we made it in China instead of the United States. I broke it for the third time after using The return of the document.
During the very first measurement on my very first unit one, I broke the tape as I was reeling in the tape, which made for a very long ten-hour I contacted Amazon and they sent another out as soon as possible. The second unit did not present any problems. My tool universe is once again at peace and in harmony.
The tape is very good. Is it okay if I use a measuring tape for just one thing?.
It's really frustrating to have the folding hook ring break even when I use it carefully each time. Rewinding is extremely difficult, so it's just barely functional.
Had to change the hook only problem other than that awesome price and works great.
