Comments about Stanley Bostitch Stanley Measuring Tapes:

I could not get the winding mechanism on this to work, to return the tape measure to the casing. It would rotate but not do anything. After a coworker tried it and had the same problem, he tilted it on its side and shook it. Something must have clicked into place because we were then able to wind it up. I chose to return the tape measure because of the poor quality (as a side note, I ordered another of the same from a different distributor and that one had the same problem). Making a return was very easy.
