Love my 25' Fatmax

Would Recommend

I have purchased many of these over the years. I love them for the size much more comfortable than my 30' or 35' foot tapes. You can't beat how far you can reach with a fat max. I would highly recommend this tape as a general contractor. "The Consumer Carpenter"

Tougher than most

Would Recommend

I bought my first fat max when I was a rookie framer in the early 2000s. I thought it was an awful lot of money for a tape measure. But, I had to get used to buying professional grade tools. A few days after my purchase I was on the 4th floor on scaffolding when I dropped it. I was waiting for it to explode like every other tape I had dropped from more than 20'.

Best Tape Ever!

Would Recommend

This Fatmax tape is the best tape measure in the market! The tape is easy to read and durable. I really love how it is coated with a special protective layer, makes the tape last that much longer.

Good tape but inaccurate with detailed measurement

Would Not Recommend

This tape is heavy duty, withstands drops and excellent withdraw and retract. However there is a gap between the end of the tape tab and the beginning of the tape. It’s about an 1/8 in gap. Normally this little bit doesn’t affect what I’m measuring, but I was measuring for countertops and it did make a noticeable difference.

Number and coating separate from the blade

Would Not Recommend

I've been a faithful user of the Fatmax for the last 15 years. Best tape measure ever. But the quality has gone down hill. I've bought 2 in the last 4 months and the same thing happened to both. Numbers and coating separate from the blade. Don't think I'll buy another one.

Rugged

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a lot of Stanley tape measures over the years and they are a quality product with an unparalleled warranty. This tape measure takes Stanley's quality to a whole nother level. This is a very rugged and durable, high-quality tape measure that should be considered by tradesmen of all fields.

Best Tape Measure!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned many Stanley Fatmax Tapes, in the commercial construction world tape do not seam to last over a year or two, but with the Stanley I have been able to make them last longer. No one beats the stand out of 10 + ft. Also the Magnets from the Magnetic line of take snap on the theses as well, if you happen to snap yours.

GOOD TAPE MEASURE

Would Recommend
