Preview: Stanley 12′ Tapes

During our time with Stanley today we found out they’ve added a small, 12’, high-visibility tape to their lineup. We were actually pretty stoked to see it — our choices of quality tiny tapes in the 12-foot range were pretty slim.
Picking it up, it was clear that Stanley had a good day in the design room when this was being drawn up. It’s super comfortable, super small, and super easy on the wallet at around $2.50. All the guys who would rather not lug around a boat anchor will soon be able to jump on this at the local big box.

I saw one of these tonight at a local store (Bimart). Seemed ok for what it is, but was much more expensive than you list above at $5.99. Not for me at that price. I will wait for a sale.
You sure the $2.50 isn’t the wholesale price…and so we should expect to see higher prices when retailers hit it with their margins…just asking.
Stanley already makes a 12′ tape in their standard yellow color. Part # 30-485. Got mine for $1.
