The Stanley STHT34297-8 is a 30-meter fiberglass measuring tape with a PowerLock mechanism, dual metric and imperial graduations, and a strong hook. It’s ideal for long-distance measurements on job sites or at home, such as laying out plans, structures, and distances.

Question 2

What are the main specifications and features of this tape?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include a 30 m length, a fiberglass-reinforced blade with a steel core, metric and imperial graduations, a locking button for secure measurements, a robust hook tab, and a carry pouch for transport. It’s designed to be non-conductor to electrical hazards and includes an adhesive back for surface mounting if needed.

Question 3

How do I use the locking mechanism to get accurate measurements?

Accepted Answer

Extend the blade to the desired length, press the PowerLock button to lock the blade in place, take the measurement, then release the lock to retract the blade slowly to avoid damage.

Question 4

How do I read the metric and imperial graduations on the blade?
