Just bought a replacement Stanley 25' Powerlock tape measure to replace the one I bought over thirty years ago. The old one finally had the last three feet rust and break off. Just one of those tools you use all the time, never think much of it until it breaks and you realize just how long you've been using it and relying on it. Like my 30-year old Skil saw, it has/had wonderful wear and patina patterns that I put there smile

Good bye, old friend.
