Bremon Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I agree with Knarly. From what I've seen of these they have a new mechanism that makes them more compact, etc. I expect better blade standout than Milwaukee (shouldn't be too tough), and if the durability is remotely close I'll be pleased. One of my Milwaukees got partially ran over by the forklift this week at work. It cracked the housing a bit but it's still going strong. Dewalt has a lot to live up to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmcmillan Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 That thing has some bounce to it. With that and the roundish shape they must be aiming at baseball bat tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekTheToolGuy Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I like the Milwaukee tape but in the video idk if I'd call any of those a real pass first it cut, then cracked, and cracked again, than they said it needed cleaned because it wouldn't retract right which I doubt was because of dirt but I'd give it a 7 of 10 lol buy hey I'm a 7 out of 10 myself lol nothings perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Ive been planning on getting a few tapes together to do a tape fight and see which one can go the longest, any word on when the dewalt will be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 is the DeWALT magnetic? looked as though the old DeWALT faired pretty well against the Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousJoe Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Wait is this new dewalt tape the same as the new Stanley tape that's out? My boss just got one and they look identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousJoe Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Stanley fatmax auto lock- ok maybe not identical but very similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offends my sensibilities to see perfectly good brand-new tools destroyed like this. Maybe it's because of how I was brought up by frugal Depression-era parents, but I can't help being bothered by it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big red fan but I hate Tom admit it, my Milwaukee magnetic tape Ismail a good all around tape. My Bostich tape has served me well for years but God alone knows where's I misplaced it during the move. Kind of like my Ridgid flip top. I've been using a stool a box and piece of 2x4 for material support in my shop while framing those walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a die-hard Stanley fan, but use a Komelon at work and have one at home now too. Love them, and the one at work has been through more hell than I care to admit. Dropping it off the scissor lift, dropping it on the floor more times than I can count. Only thing wrong with it is that the rubber overmold is peeled of all over the thing. Still works perfectly. The one at home is fairly new so it's still got the new-tape smell, but the one at work has been beaten half to death and still plugs along. Don't care much for the blade standout but overall I like the Komelon tapes a lot. Still, I keep eyeballing the new Milwaukee tapes, something about them keeps calling me. Don't know what it is...
