re: Measuring Tapes - Part III (What everyone should know)

Yeah, I’ve gone through a few Stanley Tapes, HOWEVER I still have my trusty 50-footer made by Lufkin Rule Co. My father bought it in the late ’50s or early 60s. And yes, I still use it anytime I need a long tape. Getting close to 60yr, I have to say this tape measure lasts!
