I work at Home Depot (most often in the Tool Corral) and have never
seen a tape measure refill. Stanley used to give a lifetime warranty
on tapes, but no longer.

My 35-year-old Stanley 12' gave up the ghost on Friday. I was brokenhearted
to learn that the free replacement policy was no longer in effect. If the
new one lasts 35 years, however, I will be more than happy, and probably
long dead by the time it gives out.
