Have used it and love it. Most comfortable 25' tape I have ever had. This neat feature called grip clip is a rubberlike material that is tough but actually sticks to the edge of what you are working on. The Stanley stands out a little farther but this is twice as comfortable, easy to use.

I use this OXO International Good Grips tape measure in my craft room all the time and was so glad to see it here on Amazon.com. As with all their products, (kitchen, tools, garden items etc) the superb designs are made with comfort in mind. OXO has even won the Tylenol Arthritic Award. Which is how I originally found out about them. My father-in-law is an active cooking, gardening, 87-year-old and swears by this company!

This 25' steel tape measure is coated with nylon for smooth to the touch use; the easy "good grip" casing is soft yet durable, and the nifty GripClip allows one person measuring with ease. I do not hesitate to use this on even the most delicate of fabrics. My hub tends to gleep this from me for his workbench area. He is becoming an OXO convert as I am, with all their products we have--from pepper mill, hammer, can opener, cheese grater, screwdrivers, and my very favorite; a sleek stainless steel coffee mug! (see my reviews of those if you like)

Simply said: this workhorse of a tape measure is another well-crafted OXO product at a great price.

I've been a big fan of Oxo products for years, the kitchen is fairly well stocked with their good designs and quality. However, I've bought one of the 25' tape measures a couple months ago, and it quickly lost the ability to hold the tape in place when the button is clicked. After exchanging it for a new one, I had the same problem on the second day of use. I'm not quite sure that Oxo is as reliable and well built as Craftsman.
