Stanley STHT33428-8 8m Powerlock Measuring Tape

- 8 meter nylon-coated blade for improved durability - 11 foot blade stand-out for extended reach - 2 riveted end hook for precise measurements - Built-in blade lock and blade release for secure use - Chrome-plated steel blade with a positive locking system - Belt clip for easy carrying - Rewind lever and ergonomic rubber grip for comfortable use

The blade is a chrome-plated steel blade with a nylon coating to resist wear and keep the blade readable over time. This helps prevent rust and provides smoother retraction.

Yes. The blade is printed with dual graduations, allowing measurements in both millimeters and inches, which is convenient for cross-referencing plans and on-site measurements.

The Stanley Powerlock features a patented positive locking system that keeps the blade securely in place at any measurement. You can lock the blade for precision and release it when you’re ready to retract.

The end hook is permanently riveted for reliability and accuracy, and the blade stand-out of 11 feet lets you measure longer spans without a second person. The two-scale graduations also help you measure from either end with consistency.

Grip the tape firmly with the rubber grip, pull out the blade to the needed length, engage the blade lock to hold it steady, read the measurement on the blade (in mm or inches), and retract using the blade release when finished. Use the end hook to anchor measurements on a surface.

Keep the blade clean and dry after use, wipe away dust and moisture, and wind the blade back smoothly to avoid tangles. Store the tape retracted with the belt clip accessible. Periodically check the end hook and rivets for looseness and avoid bending the blade excessively.

Yes. Keep fingers away from the blade edge when retracting, avoid extending the blade beyond its safe stand-out length, and use the blade lock to prevent sudden retraction. Do not use damaged tapes, and store away from extreme heat or moisture to preserve integrity.

The 8m STHT33428-8 is designed for medium-length measurements with a durable nylon-coated blade and a 11 ft stand-out. For longer-range jobs, the 10m or 12m PowerLock variants offer extended blade length but may be slightly heavier. For shorter tasks, a 5m PowerLock is lighter and more compact.
