FATMAX is the Best!

The FATMAX tape measures are hands down the best in the business. Ergonomic, reliable and the best lock there is. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Stands up to use

Would Recommend

Non slip grip of tape that rides sell clipped on your hip. Tape hooks well and stays in place. Great for measuring by yourself as the tape does not bend when retracted out. Large easy to read numbers for my older eyes.

Purchased for a specific purpose.

Purchased for a specific purpose the Fatmax 25'; I needed that extra single handed reach that the Fatmax would give. Working often alone a lot of DIY guys and gals do; this tool gives us that extra hand. Wither out flat or straight up the blade does as stated.

This 25 ft STANLEY® FATMAX® tape measure is so tough and dependable that I’m convinced it could survive a fall off my roof better than I could.

The Stanley FatMax 25’ tape measure is one of those tools you end up grabbing for everything. It feels solid in your hand, and the blade is nice and rigid—so you can extend it way out without it folding over, which makes measuring by yourself a lot easier. The numbers are bold and easy to read, and the hook grabs well whether you’re catching an edge or measuring inside corners. The case has a durable, rubberized feel that holds up to being dropped or tossed in a toolbox. The tape slides out smoo...

Great tape measure

Would Recommend

I got the 25 foot Fat Max tape measure as a gift and I love it. Now I can get measurements without someone holding the other end. Working on the deck, measuring in the garden for planting or laying out pictures on the wall, the Fat Max does it all. And the bright color helps me find it when I misplace it.
