Overview
The Stanley PowerLock 33-158 is a 16-foot tape measure with a 3/4 inch mylar-coated blade, inch and metric graduations, and stud center markings for framing work. It suits DIYers and tradespeople who want a pocket tape that holds up to daily jobsite use.
- 16-foot x 3/4 inch mylar-coated blade
- Chrome high-impact ABS case
- Tru-zero corrosion-resistant end hook
- 16 inch and 19.2 inch stud markings
Who it's for
Fits carpenters, framers, and home DIYers who need a compact 16-foot tape for everyday measuring rather than a long-reach 25 or 30 foot model. Also useful as a pocket tape for checking door and hallway clearances alongside a bigger tape.
Pros and cons
- Dual inch and metric markings
- Stud center markings speed up framing
- Compact enough for a tool pouch or pocket
- Blade lock holds its position
- Blade feels lighter gauge than older PowerLock tapes
- 16 feet limits reach on larger jobs
Performance notes
The mylar polyester coating on the blade is meant to slow wear from repeated extension and retraction, and the chrome ABS housing is built to survive drops on a jobsite. The blade lock holds position without creeping mid-measurement, and the corrosion-resistant tru-zero hook is designed to give accurate readings whether you are hooking an edge or butting against a surface.
