AMAZING TAPE MEASURE

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this tape measure for months now working as a plumber and the auto lock feature is SUPER convenient for quickly and easily marking pipe or taking measures without the tape slipping off and flying back at me. Would highly recommend any Stanley tapes, durable and helpful!

Go to Tape Measure

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was bought for me for a Father’s Day gift and it does not disappoint. The auto lock is very helpful when measuring longer areas. The smooth recoil is nice as well.

Never fails

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had tons of tape measures and lots of them suck. Like most Stanley tools this is a Boss. Never bends and prematurely springs back. It’s accurate and strong enough to get whipped around which happens a lot. I have 1 of them in both work bags. Just buy it. A+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This. This tape right here. Not only does it KILL on the jobsite (can measure anything, anywhere), but wear this bad boy to the bar on a Friday? You’re gonna need that 13’ break point to hold off the women that’ll be crawling to ya. Job interview? Wear it. Doctors Appt? Wear it. Dinner at Ruth’s Chris? WEAR IT. You had better lace up them Wolverines after you buy this, cuz you’ll kick in every door you go through. Great power comes great respon...

Strong and Sturdy Stanley made.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After countless attempts to find the right tape measure a friend who does has been a carpenter for some 15 years now said.... Stanley is the only way. I stand by Stanley made every day. He was right. This thing isn’t flimsy now flexible and it is so easy to use. I saw his and he has had it for years and works just as if brand new. I am a believer now and will always be a Stanley Made guy

Takes a beating!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this tape measure for years now and I must’ve put this little fella through the ringer more times than I can count. You take it for granted when it’s a tape measure, but I can’t tell you how often I use this. Great product and even better company.

Reliable Sidekick

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned many Stanley products and have become accustom to their consistent quality and long life. To some a tape measure is a tape measure, but until you’re faced with failing locks and hard to view numbers it is hard to comprehend why they’re so important. I have 3 fat max units in the house.

So easy to use!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this tape every day on the job, it stays where it needs to be and is very easy to use! The auto-lock definitely makes a huge difference when measuring long distances by yourself. Stanley has and always will be the best tape measure

Longest lasting tape measure.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work water construction and i am dipping tape measures in salt water all day long. Stanley fatmax has lasted me more than 6 months (which is a long time) versus milwaukee, dewalt, craftsman which usually will last 2 weeks. Great tape measure, worth the buy

Good tool but...

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd like to see measure markings on both sides of the tape to make it better. It might not sound like much, but it really makes a difference

Hands down best tape out there!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a fat max as long as I can remember! I have been doing construction for almost 20 years and every time I buy a fat max. I have broken a few over the years and it was replaced without an issue. Thank you for making these better every time a new one comes out! The only downside to them is the packaging. It’s terrible but a utility knife solves that problem.

The FATMAX is the app epitome of reliability

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive had mine for what feels like years. I’ve worked as a carpenter, a plumber, a roofer, and in many other trades. So you could say this thing has been exposed to the elements, especially being in New England. I have never had any issues and would love to be a proud owner of some more Stanley products.
