Ratings & Reviews for Stanley FM 30-FT AUTOLOCK TAPE(+1048540)

Durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my husband because he is constantly throwing his tape measure and breaking the locking system. This has held up so well to all the wear and tear of average use and his more strenuous use.

One of the better tape measures on the market

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in roofing, siding, gutters, and general construction. Stanley's tapes are some of the best you can get. They hold well and are very durable. I've seen one roll off a 4 story hotel and survive with barely a scratch and no effect to it's performance. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because the auto lock is tricky and can loose its potency over time.

Best Tape Made!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own several tapes but the FatMax is by far the best on the market. The auto lock and rafter hook are both great along with great standout. I definitely recommend FatMax tapes to anyone who uses them on a regular basis.

Worst Ever

Bought recently to replace my old Stanley 30 footer. Catch tang on end is tool small, brag about being able to extend XX feet yet if the wind blows or you let it slip to a lean it breaks over immediately and you will not correct it until its all the way back in.

SMOOTH SLIDE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] BUILT FOR ROUGH USE. HOW MUCH CAN I RATE IT? ITS A WELL BUILT EASY TO USE MEASURING TAPE

Really like it's reach

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The standout is a great feature for those of us that need to measure overhead or across open spaces. Stands out about 11' horizontally.

REALLY liking the auto stand-out feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a WAY better version of the Fat Max than the first one I received.

30 ft. FATMAX® Auto-Lock Tape Measure review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this tape measure; the tape is strong and doesn’t bend when you have it out. The holder for the additional tip could be better, maybe a magnet added as well at the rubber piece.

Great upgrade from my Leaverlock tape measures

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a few weeks to use these tape measures and I am very happy with them. The removable hooks have made it much easier to to measure in places that don't want to hold. Stanley has gone the extra mile making these very durable. In using them I had them fall off a work bench. I've broken a few tapes from dropping from roofs in the past and these seem like they would hold up. Overall nothing negative to say. The larger size is just a l...

Very durable and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are roofing contractors, so we need good tools. We love Stanley tape measures. This one is very easy to read and locks/unlocks easily. It’s also very durable and not flimsy at all. It stays right where you hook it and there’s no flopping around like cheaper measures.

Fat max tape 30 ft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received it it is a great product. The works great for house job I am doing thank you very much

Beefy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure is solid. It seems to be well built and has been holding up well thus far. The hook it comes with is handy, and I like that it can be stored in the tape measure instead of getting trashed in my toolbox. The only complaint is the hook doesn't sit flush when stored, so it will no doubt get knocked out and lost. Other than that, it's a solid tape measure.

The best tape measure ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fatmax is a great product. The large numbers are great for those of us who are older. It is much easier to use when measuring longer lengths. Fatmax is very durable and well built.

Best 30 foot tape so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this tape measure for about 3 weeks now and I have to say it's the best 30 foot tape measure I've used so far. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the auto lock but it has become VERY handy. The size is not much bigger (if not the same) as the FATMAX 25 foot tape measure. But the absolute best part of this tape measure, hands down is the extra wide end. This alows me to hook up to what ever I'm measuring easier and further that other...

Hefty but nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I want to say how nice this tape measure is, the craftsmanship is amazing, it’s built really nice, the auto lock feature works great, I think I’m only going to buy tape measures in the future with that feature, it looks great for the guys who love to buy nice looking tools. The weight of the tape measure is on the heavy side, but for a profressional shouldn’t be much of An issue. I’m a diy guy that works on his own home, so something...

Measuring made easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a huge fan of Stanley tape measures. I have several in my collection. I really enjoy the option to use the Auto-Lock feature or not. A simple press of the button retracts the tape when it’s on. Or you click the button up and it functions like any standard tape. I hardly ever turn it off because I enjoy it so much. My ONLY issue with the product is that at the longer lengths, it really does not retract well without help. I find myself pullin...

Excellent Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this tape for making field measurements on the field and other areas. The auto stop, blade extention make this the first tape I reach for. its heafty build and solid feeel in your hand let me know I will be using this tool for years to come.

Excellent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great tape measure it's not flimsy like alot of those out there its easy to read and very good quality. I will definitely be using this instead of my Milwaukee.

Beefy tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this tape on several home improvement projects I am completing around my home. This tape measure is beefy and well constructed. It has tumbled down the staircase several times and has dropped off a upper deck to the ground below and shows no signs of damage. It has an approx 11 foot stand out which is helpful when you are working alone. Definitely a well built, heavy duty tape!! Measurement are clearly marked and easy to read.

Feels Good In the hand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape has a great stand-out without having a huge and bulky tape measure housing. I had no problem getting this tape to 11 foot stand out. I do believe the auto lock button is the best new function because you can turn it OFF or leave it on only when you need it. I do like the idea of the extra big hook for grabbing but I think it would be beter if it was not removable.I recommend this tape to anyone who wants an all around good 30 that fit...
