TylerDama Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Less then three months ago I saw dealt had a tape measure that A. Supported the wounded warrior foundation.and B.was made in America.a no brainer so I picked with high hopes.... they were short lived. The standout is decent but the locking mechanism shortly failed. Has anyone else had the same luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorb888 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Call 1800-4-DEWALT They should send you a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I also picked up that same one, mine is still working fine so far. Might be an QA issue and you should look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDama Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Still had the receipt, so I was able to exchange it for a new one... it does make me feel better knowing it may just be a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 DeWalt does seem to have "sold out" a little with selling everything with their name on it now at Home Depot and stuff looks a little on the cheap side. I have a DeWalt tape too and it is still working but hasn't had all that much use. The locking mech. works but is a little loose it seems like it doesn't lock real tight.
