The Best!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a lot of tape measures, none perform better than FatMax. The bottomline, a tool is only a tool when it performs. You can count on this tool to work everytime.

This tool will last for a lifetime!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Stanley Tools - 25 ft FATMAX Classic Tape Measure - 33-725 I love my Stanley 25 ft. FATMAX® Classic Tape Measure. It's got large, easy to read numbers and fits in my smaller hand with a non-slip rubber case. I've dropped it before when I was on the ladder and its impact resistant case saved the day. It has a 14 ft. reach which makes this classic tape measure perfect for any job.

The Standard

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using tape measures as part of my job for 16 years. I’ve used several brands. Stanley Fatmax has become my standard. It has the ability to stretch out far without twisting and slides back with out fear of cutting off a finger. Stanley is my shop and job site standard. Thanks Stanley.

Boomerang qualities

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new father I took up woodworking to build long lasting things for my son. A step stool and a growth chart are the first two things I’ve built. This tape measure has “boomerang” qualities because when my toddler snags it from the table top as I’m working, he always seems to bring it back right when I need it. I own 2 now. One for me and one for my son. They say measure twice cut once, as a new woodworker, for me, it’s been measure thrice cu...

Not what they once were.

Would Not Recommend

Doesn’t whined back up you get 5 ft reach if your lucky. This product is now junk. I am switching to Milwaukee. I can’t climb off ladders all day to measure for my siding. Completely slows everything down.

Made from Good built quality!

Would Recommend

I have been using this Stanley Measure Tape for more than 2 years. It is one of the common tools that I needed for each DIY project. This is really easy to use it with locking features and it can hold and measure almost 14inch length with a single person. It is made from hight built-in quality to last long many years. I can not do any project without it. It also have a nice clip that easy to hand on pant while using it.

Can go a lot further before collapsing

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of all the tapes I've used the fatmaxes always are able to extend further without crumpling, very useful if you don't have another person so hold it. And the bright yellow always helps it not get lost

Hands down best

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these tapes for 10 years. I’ve never had to replace one for the spring breaking or tape itself snapping. They’re easy to see and the tape is thick enough to measure spans easily Without it collapsing. I’ve built too many decks and houses to count with one of these guys!

Great product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2 years ago while on a job site a co-worker gave me my first Stanley FatMax 25 ft tape measure and promised that I wouldn’t want to ever own another tape measure. When I receive this item it wasn’t new it was about 4 months at that time. Fast forward two years and I’ve done gave away all my other tapes and only use FatMax. I’m still using the tape my co-worker gave me still! I will never own any other tape measure other than a FatMax. Love it!
