Pros & Cons
Pros
Fatmax is great for framing, but for trim its gotta be a powerlock. I've been a carpenter for about 30 years this is my favorite tape measure. Works perfectly for wide horizontal and tall vertical measurements.

Shipping
Seller was quick with shipping and great!
Packaging/appearance
Comes in a good strong plastic packaging that will protect it from scuffs.
Competitiveness
Worth the price for that alone, great quality - worth more than its priced.
Marked on it, just buy a lufkin or a sears.
Somewhat heavy but it is a 30ft tape.
If you're in construction, buy a stanley!
