Does what’s it’s meant to do.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t have one personally but have used one. It does what it’s supposed to do. In my opinion, no flaws. I’ll buy my own soon since I’m purchasing a home and will need to do some remodeling.

Durable and Sturdy!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the only tape measures I’ll buy! Very well made, I use it daily on construction site and it never fails. No matter the abuse I give it, dropping it, etc. No matter the weather it works like the day I bought it! I’d recommend this to any professional that wants to get job done without any worry of failure or hiccups!

Great tape

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tape measure because the autolock tape that I had recently purchased was a no go. I still went with another fatmax because I have been happy with most of their other products. This tape is nice and small but still has a wide blade and still 25' long. The lock works well and it is comfortable to hold. I don't really care for the new belt clip, didn't really care for the old clip either as they shredded my pockets and belts.

All You Can Ask For

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK, I know you have a tape measure already. You probably have more than one. I have six of them now but I routinely look for and use my Stanley FATMAX and I will tell you the many reasons why. First of all, it's a Stanley. That should be all I have to say but the goodies don't stop there with this fine product. Size. Believe it or not it does make a difference. The FATMAX fits right in the palm of my hand. Quite unlike several other tap...

Fatmax 25 ft. tape

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Fatmax 25 ft tape, it's strong enough to stand by itself. If you are measuring a wall you don't have to have a helper and the numbers are easy to read. I don't even have to get my glasses to read it. Best tape measure I have purchases in years. If I lose it, it will be a fast trip to the store for another one.

Great but locking mechanism failed

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really love the overall design..fits in my hand very comfortably but the locking mechanism doesn't hold and it got worse over time where when I pull blade out it stops the blade and jams...takes about a minute each time to unjam.
