G2 for me

Tapes should be treated as consumable items. They all go bad at some point. Also you left out the two best tapes ever- Tajima and Fastcap.

I had no idea the hooks varied. I love the magnet. That would be so helpful.

pulling a tape out straight, repetitively isn't where most tapes fail. for me it is a twist in the tape that causes it to easily buckle and fall when trying to measure something while holding the tape out horizontally. a better experiment, in my opinion, would be to extend the tape, unsupported a few feet and tilt the body of the tape measure until it buckles and falls. 1) you could get a measurement on how rigid each tape is out of the box. but also, with repetition, how long does it take to put a permanent bend in the tape that would make it difficult to use. Most every job i have had (construction to machining) a large hook is a hinderance. the hook will not allow the tape to fit into any tight spaces. Fancy hooks are a gimmick. i actually have one stanely where i took the hook to a grinder. I can use that tape for really tight spaces. auto lockers. i bought one, and i wanted to burn it in a fire, day one. out of the box the lock was weak and would easily slip. it made it super difficult to take any measurement while pushing against the hook. i thought maybe they have gotten better, but every once in a while someone hands me one of those pieces of shite.....unusable. ANY tape that has a clusterf*ck of all of the fractions......stop. that goes in the fire. learn your stupid fractions that we all learned in the 4th grade. most (not all) of the younger guys i have worked with don't have a clue how to read a tape at first. i see them with these tapes, and they are clueless without it. Magnets suck in any sort of space where you have metal chips. so most metal workers would not want anything to do with it. so its a gimmick. never have i wished for a magnet on the end of a tape whether i was measuring ferrous metals or not. I have used fat max's for many years. not perfect by any means. i have tried a number of other tapes to only be disappointed. Though i will have to check out that lufkin, they have been a solid measuring tool company for a long time. I have a few of their old tools that i use on a daily basis and they don't quit. also i really like the markings, light on the black looks cool and easily readable.

I got myself a festool one. For something thats used so much, why try save a few dollars ?

This timing couldn't be better!

I would have subscribed twice if I could.

Is this just ai generated content that rips off the buy it for life subreddit?

I want to taste test!

This is just a big box store hammer haul

I am excited about this channel! I am always looking for reviews for stuff that is BIL.

I have a couple 28 ounce Estwing hammers. Because I am not weak.

A shirt review would be great, surprisingly difficult to come across a durable and comfortable shirt for the right price

no vaughn wood handle hammers?

It's 32 bucks right now thru your link which is pretty good for that hammer. I have the Estwing 3lb drilling hammer that I used professionally in the structural steel business and I'm sure it will be around a lot longer than me, they are also a bargain at around 30 bucks.....Which seems like that was about how much I paid for it 20 some years ago.

DeWalt and ToughBuilt have realy interesting hammers :)

Was worried toud say anything other than the estwing. My dad and uncle have had theirs for ~40 years, i've had mine for ~10, they're all fantastic tools.
