Great overall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned this product for a few years, and it's still holding up to daily use and abuse. The only thing I don't like is how it's hard to grab the hook with one hand sometimes.

The only one I buy now.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought a two-pack of these for work and bought another two for home almost immediately after. They are smooth, stable, easy to read even when it’s dark (which is often the case as an electrician), and seem like they will last a long time.

So tough even teen trades students respect it!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a number of Stanley FatMax 25’ tapes in service at my building trades program. 100+ kids a year put these tools through their paces in a wood shop environment and they are not gentle. My students are constantly testing the stand out capacity of these tape by poking their friends from across the room. The ruggedness of the metal is evidenced by the hundreds of times the kids let the tape snap shut, and the hooks still allow 1/16th for th...

Best Tape Measure on the Market!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a tool junkie, and let me tell you, the FATMAX Classic is the best tape money can buy! It's simple, tough, easy to read, and the 14' stand-off is the best! This tape is thick, rigid, and quality through and through. I bought one and left it in the house and my wife stole it!!! So I bought two more!

Long Reach

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stanley Fat Max tape measure is the only tape measure I use when working on a job. It has a very long reach before buckling. The tape measure is easy to read and remains accurate after extensive use. It is also very durable as I drop mine often and it holds up very well!

Cool tape

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was one of the first tapes I bought, its lasted me 7 years so far, can honestly take a hit , retracts comfortably, a bit of rust, but overall a good tape. A bit heavy though.

Best Tape Measure

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many different really good tape measures on the market, but none of them do as many things well as the fat max does. Wether it is standout, or overall durability, it is hard to beat the quality a fat max provides.

SRANLEY Classic Fatmax

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a classic for a reason. This is always my go to tape measure. If your in a trade or just a diy'er. FATMAX will be the best option. You can just feel the difference and no one can deny Stanley Fatmax isn't a good tape measure. Don't waste money on flimsy ones just get Stanley Fatmax you won't regret it.
