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

Different, But Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to admit, it took some getting used to. Once I did, the auto lock feature came in prety handy. Specially when up in a ladder trying to measure with one hand while holding on for dear life with the other.

Fatmax living up to its reputation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only tape measures that I will use are Stanley FatMax. As professional, I have historically used the 25' tape. After upgrading to this one, I must say that I am not disappointed. The tape measure has excellent stand-out and a high build quality. It is not too big or bulky in the hand, but just right. The auto-lock feature is done well and makes some applications much more convenient. If you are looking for a quality tape measure, Stanley h...

My favorite tape measure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Checked against a machinist ruler and extremely accurate! Hefty weight and sturdy. Feels good in the hand. Love the detachable clip with storage but I just leave it on since it fully retracts with it. The manual switch on the button is very helpful. The only downside is the retract spring could be stronger but it’s really not a problem. A must have in the shop or on site!

Great quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow just wow! This is like the king of all tape measures! I'm 100 percent serious! My husband always loses all his tape measures or the tape measure breaks after a few uses. With this awesome tape measure we don't have to worry about losing it because it's very large! It's great for working alone. The strip with the measurements has large bold numbers which is great when you need to use it alone or have to measure something high up! The durabil...

So Handy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that I can turn the auto lock on and off, and the extra big tip that comes on and off is so handy when I need it. I don't think I could ever go back to a standard tape without these features.

Super sturdy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this tape measure and is robust, little on the heavy side but really sturdy, I won't recomend it for carry around on yout waist all day due it's weight

Perfect for DIY projects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fat-Max Auto Lock tape measurer has been a great addition to my toolbox!! With the ability to extend the tape to 11 feet without worry of the tape bending is my favorite feature. And the handy detachable framing hook means I can get more done faster. Great quality and perfect for so many uses. The extra wide tape also makes it extra easy to read measurements accurately. This will definitely be the tape measurer I reach for whenever I have...

heavy duty tape measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving this Fat Max tape measure. it's easy to hold. I like the auto-lock feature. This will come in handy when I need to measure something and I'm one. The retraction button is easy to press. You can also set it to manual mode as well... The tape is easy to read and has large numbers. It also didn't seem to bow or bend much. The tape measure also includes a detachable hook. This may come in handy if you are measuring a large item or need ...

11' Standout

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical, but the 11' standout actually works. Makes long measurements and vertical runs much easier. The case is well constructed, I am partial to the classic metal casing on Stanley's other tape measures, but I imagine the slight rubber coating on major contact points will hold up fine. The ability to switch between auto lock and manual lock is a great choice as well—the ability to switch to manual is a big step up from previous auto l...

Auto-Lock Tape Measure: Well Made / Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this tape measure. The previous one that I had from a different manufacturer had broken after only 6 months of use (tape came loose; clip broke), and I was hoping that this one would be better made. I was not disappointed. This 30' FatMax Tape Measure from Stanley is extremely durable. You can tell from just picking it up that it is not some cheap tool that will fall apart. I expect that it wil...

Built to last

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stanley Fat Max 30' tape measure is built to withstand typical worksite use and abuse. It's made to last!

Great Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tape measure (even though the package it came in was a hassle to open, lol). All jokes aside, this is a wonderful tape measure that is a must-have. It comes with the extra attachment hook that you can take off or put on whenever you need it that really helps when trying to measure things.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this for about a week now. It is the best tape measure I have used. I would recommend it all my friends.

Tough Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Other than this measuring tape being functional, it is built tough. I’ve been rough on it and keeps working great. The locking mechanism is what I like, does the job right.

It’s a beast!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a Union Carpenter putting it to use for 10+ hours a day. I usually go through a tape measure every few months. this thing is a beast. I have a feeling it’s going to last for years. Craftsman, Dewalt; I’ve tried them all. On a lot of other tapes the screw on the clip comes out and strips, the tape won’t retract anymore. They literally start falling apart months after buying them. When you pick this one up, you’ll immediately know the differe...

Rugged!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the Stanley FatMax 30’ tape measure for only a few days now but I have to say I am in awe. The design is very rugged and is a perfect size for my hand. The secondary removable hook is a great feature for framing or long measurements when the smaller, already installed hook will not hold. The tape itself is very wide and the black numbers are very clear and easy to see against the neon yellow tape. The locking mechanism can be a littl...

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the extra wide head attachment that comes with it. I have used it in measuring the length of a wall and from floor to ceiling that I am working on with my roommate.

30 foot FATMAX

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best tape rule I have ever had. I love the auto lock feature and then quick release button. What's nice is the 11' tape standout, and it doesn't collapse. It comes with a large detachable tape hook that helps stay at the end of trim while you pull the tape out. There is a storage slot for the hook when not in use. The numbers and markings are clear, precise and it includes the black diamonds.

Big size but nice features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice 30' tape measure. It has 11+ feet of reach without collapsing. I really like the optional hook that allows grabbing above and to the sides of the blade. By far the best feature though is the auto lock that allows the tape to extend but not retract until you press the lock button. You can easily defeat this feature by sliding the lock button. I'll keep mine in auto mode!

My Best Tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love this tape measure. The ability to go over 25 feet is very useful and the yellow color is easy to find when I lay it down somewhere.
