Ratings & Reviews for Stanley FATMAX 30-ft Auto Lock Tape Measure

Awesome tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape was a great addition to my tool box. Its rugged and heavy duty the tape its self is unbelievably sturdy out past 11 feet. This tape is a great buy

Built like a tank!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made, easy to use. Nice to have a tape that dosen't flex or turn over! A little on the heavy side.

Great sturdy product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have traditionally stayed with the 25 ft tape mine was ragged and opted for the 30 ft this time. I was a bit surprised at the size of the tape I expected just another 5 ft. The ability to stand out 11 ft has made working on wall layout much easier. The additional tip extension allows me to hook easier when laying out studs. Real time saver and a back saver as well. Highly recommend upgrade no to the 30 ft length

A Quality Measure by Any Standard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure offers a multitude of features - from the two-part molded elastomeric grip surfaces to the wide, easy-reading scale, and the transparent plastic protective layer applied over the gradations of the first three inches of tape. It is also nice looking - aesthetics are important - and maintains full functionality under a variety of conditions. The auto-lock mechanism is reliable and repeatable, plus includes a bypass (disengage)...

30 ft fat Max

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very proud to have the opportunity to use this product. I can’t thank Stanley enough for giving me this opportunity to use this . I wouldn’t switch for nothing. And the craftsman by sears I gave it away I will not use a sears tape measure again.

Tuff Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been working with the 30’ FATMAX For month now. It’s very smooth & easy to use I like the markings are easy to see. It feels very substantial & tuff In your hand. no problems great working tape.

Wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this and have used it daily love the additional large hook it comes with and the durability.

Better than the older version

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Think of it like a revamped version of the old 'leverlock'. This works better, plus it can be turned off if you like, making it work like a traditional tape measure. The auto-lock works ok, but I do wish it was stronger at times! A manual lock would be useful.

Autolock feature is fantastic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have lots of tape measures but this is now my go to tape. It's chunky, and the auto lock feature is great.

Heavy duty and easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This may just be my favorite tape ever. Solid heavy duty construction. I feel like you could drop this thing from 30’ and not put a scratch on it. The molded rubber provides an excellent grip. The additional clip makes ripping drywall an easy task that I have issues with using a regular powerlock. The auto lock feature is a little tricky at first but great once you get the knack of it. The numbers are clear and easy to read. The package says 11...

A True Workhorse - The Best Tape Measure I Own

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 30 ft. FATMAX® Auto-Lock Tape Measure is a true workhorse & BIG! The weight, width &rubberized black areas keep this in place when doing long or short measurements. This has a detachable hook which clips on and off easily - I left it attached since it closes perfectly when in place. The hook itself is a nice feature because it allows me to measure things by myself. The numbers and marking are bold, BIG and easy to read from a distance. The...

Solid tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a Stanley product, this is of high quality and very easy to use for long pieces of items to measure. The stand out is very good also, the additional hook end is good. But my only concern is that the additional hook can be lost.

Fantastic measuring tape!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a professional remodeler and I got this thing just in time to try it on a fresh job. The wide hook attachment proved handy for gripping shoe mould. Being round and tiny, the small trim can be difficult to measure with a traditional tip. The extra surface area aids in maintaining hold while pulling the tape and marking. Because of the fit, the attachable tip does not interfere with the accuracy of the measurements in any way. It just makes ...

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stanley fat max auto-lock 30' tape measure provides great length from measuring and with it's add-on clip provides a great gripping positioning for measuring. This tape is a must have tool for the tool belt.

Beginner or Professional Contractor - Great Tool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a 11' standout plus an auto/manual blade lock this tape makes one person open-air measuring a snap. Then Stanley went a step further and added a detachable hook with storage to make measuring long spans even easier. When these features, that really do improve the ease of use, are added to "Made in USA" label this tape is unbeatable!

The perfect tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every feature of this tape measure was carefully considered, and it is perfect. From the smooth-gliding action, the removable belt clip, to the easy to read WIDE tape, it's a pleasure to use. But, by far the most valuable feature is the auto-lock. This immediately proved itself as invaluable, especially when measuring by yourself. FIVE Confident stars!!!

Extra tough with great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this tape measure for about three weeks now and love everything about it so far. All Fatmax tape measures have a natural feel in your hand. The Fatmax is tough and durable. It has easy to read markings and a true 11’ standout. Another great feature is the auto lock that can be turned off and used as a traditional manual tape measure. I highly recommend this tape measure especially for anyone in outdoor construction. Best feature is it’...

Beefy, Well-Made with a Flaw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is another quality entry in the FatMax auto-locking line of tape measures (and probably my third one of these tapes). The tape itself is wide and easy to read, and it extends a good distance before it breaks/drops. One of the other Stanleys I have reaches further, but I can't complain about this one. The auto-locking mechanism is great, too, just like with the other tapes I have from Stanley. The tape measure is heavy-duty, heavy (by we...

Very Functional Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Testing as compared to others. Unit is nice, blade does not hold length to 11’, breaks at 10’-6”, which is still good, however, due to size of blade, it is heavy when extended that far. The blade lock mechanism is a bit too small, functions well, should have protruded a bit far out or rubberized for easier engagement. Nice rule for heavy duty users.

One of the best measuring tapes I have owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally got to use this measuring tape to install hurricane shutters and this is one of the nices looking and usable measuring tapes I have seen and owned on the market today. This Stanley FaxMax met my expectations for usability and durability. The numbers are big which makes it easier to read from a distance. The auto locking mode is a plus since a majority of simple users forget to lock the tape when using it. The tape is much wider than o...
