[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Stanley FATMAX tape measure. I own quite a few Stanley products and this follows right up there with the quality you expect from Stanley. The ergonomic shape fits great in your hand and not to mention it looks great. It has a 12’ stand out, is wide and easy to read and the Maxshield makes this the longest lasting, best feeling tape I’ve ever used. I’ve owned countless number of tape measures over the years and NONE compare ...

What a find!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually found this! I was at a truck stop taking my lunch break, stepped out to walk and there it was. A bit oily but in perfect shape. Took it home and it has been a great addition to my tools. I just used it to hang our new curtains. They look fantastic! I asked for a second one for Father's day and now I have one in my 2nd tool box just in case I misplace this one. Thanks Stanley tools for making a great product

A super heavy duty tape measure
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is a beast. The reach is legit 15ft My only complaint is the locking mechanism is a bit tough to lock at times. Maybe I should have gone with a dual lock

Take Of A Great Tape
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used Stanley tools and tape measures. These tape measures are durable and accurate. I really don't recall ever having one break. I usually buy a new one to replace a lost/missing one, or because it is the newest one with added features. I can also tell you that everyone I know owns a Stanley tape measure, you should too. "Other Brands Just Don't Measure Up"

Hard working tape measure
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this tape measure for awhile now and it is tested tough. I use it around the house on projects and I like its heft, easy to read numbers and the ability to stretch how the tape without it collapsing. I have an 8 and 9 year old that are hard on my tools but this FatMax can take it!

Built to last
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few people I trust dearly told me that I'd only need to buy a tape measure once if I picked up the FATMAX. They weren't lying. I've had this thing for a little over a year and it's held up from a lot of my drops.
