Stanley Piece
Stanley has been a company for a long time now, and has built up a solid reputation as a business which sells high quality goods. They do sell a number of cheaper products too, but all in the entire average product sold by Stanley is top notch. Whether you are in the hardware business yourself, or you are a skilled trade’s person looking for tools which are going to do a good job and stay strong for a lifetime, Stanley is a good option.
Stanley invests a lot of time and money into testing, designing and improving products to improve them. This means making the products easier to use, better to use and even better looking. Stanley has aspired to be the world’s best when it comes to what they do, and they are doing very well at it! You can look at their online catalog to see the latest information on their broad range of products. Regardless of the Stanley piece that you end up with, you can count on it!
Stanley make everything from measuring equipment through to the very popular Stanley Cutter and finishing tools, automotive tools, lighting and lasers, storage, cutting tools and even fastening and layout tools. They might not be the most expensive things on the market, but they are good quality and you can be assured that they will do a good job. I have had extensive experience using Stanley lasers, Stanley knives, Stanley fastener tools, Stanley storage boxes and the layout tools and have had a good experience with all of them.
Every Stanley piece has been tested and tried to ensure that they function well, and are comfortable and easy to use. From their tape measures which are much stronger than the standard ones right through to accurate lasers and top notch hammers you are on the right track to getting a good set of tools. A lot of people choose to be a part of the ‘buy it and throw it out society’ that we are so quickly becoming. However, what you will find is that this habit usually costs you more in the long run, and if you were to go out and to buy a set of good quality tools in the first place you would save money over the long period.
We go through a huge number of knives at work, because they refuse to buy high quality ones. Instead of getting a Stanley Piece which is going to survive more than a week, they decide to buy the five dollar ones which last for a few days and then get thrown out. At the end of the day what you purchase is entirely up to yourself, but I know what I prefer to get! A Stanley Piece will quite often be recommended by trade’s people on building sites, and they don’t just talk up something if it isn’t actually any good. I also like the Stanley Scraper, as they make cleaning metal a simple task!
I remember going out and buying a 30 dollar hammer which I thought was comfortable, and I was very happy with it. The next day a friend came to work with a 70 dollar hammer and I thought ‘what a waste of money!’ As I soon found out though, the more expensive Stanley Piece was much more comfortable to use, and being a solid steel hammer unless you lost it the hammer would be with you for life. Things like a hammer which reverberates considerably up your fingers and wrists, it’s no wonder people prefer a Stanley Piece over other equipment. You might not think it makes much of a difference, but over the 40 odd hour week that most people do you will see that it really is worth the extra money.
Stanley can be identified as mainly yellow and black tools, and although they do occasionally come out with other colored products they are usually well advertised! If you are one of those people that has been using cheap tools for quite some time now, do yourself a favor and take a look into a Stanley Piece. I can guarantee that you won’t regret getting one, and once you have one you will be hooked. They make your life easier and therefore much more enjoyable at work, and who can’t do with that?
