I have used Stanley FATMAX for about 13 years and they have stood up to most anything i have thrown at them, whether it be falling from 30+ feet, tape bending over and over, mud rolling up in the tape case, skid across the concrete or left out in the weather for a few days. FATMAX is a great tape and i will choose them everytime!

Above and beyond great. My tape measure is on my side all day long even after work I sometimes catch myself going into the movie theater and it’s still on that’s how often I use my tape measure. This is one of the best tape measures I’ve ever had

Great locking mechanism, however the tape is not sturdy enough. I can’t believe it’s guaranteed to reach 14’ before bending.

I love using these Stanley tape measures. I own several of these. My one complaint which is a super minor one, is how the first 3 numbers on the tape are smaller than the rest of the numbers. For me visually, this bugs the crap out of me. Other than that, works great.

I own several tapes but the FatMax is by far the best on the market. The auto lock and rafter hook are both great along with great standout. I definitely recommend FatMax tapes to anyone who uses them on a regular basis.

It’s pretty good, light, sturdy and I like the lock mechanism just wish it would reel back up past 7ft

I bought this for my husband because he is constantly throwing his tape measure and breaking the locking system. This has held up so well to all the wear and tear of average use and his more strenuous use.

This is my husband’s favorite brand of tape measure. He is a carpenter and is extremely picky! It is a good one apparently. We couldn’t find it in the stores. We looked at several, so I ordered it online. Worth the wait.

Love it. Can’t get much better than this. One of my coworkers had one on a job, I used it, and had to buy one. My other three tapes are back in storage. Maybe stocking stuffers this year, who knows?

Strong and durable. I like the ability to use the locking trigger in different ways. Highly recommend!

I spent close to an hour at Home Depot trying out tape measures and looking at features. They have a lot to chose from. None of them had all the features I wanted in one. I didn’t want one to large for my hand, to short to measure longer distances (vs 16 ft). I wanted one with fractional markings for fast reference. I wanted the longest standout I could get because I work mostly alone. I wanted an easy to use lock system. I didn’t want MM on one side. I wanted easy to read.This has all of those.What it didn’t have that I would like, is measurement markings in the back side. I would give this a 4.5 star rating but rounded up. I also want a tape measure that is going to last and not cost a lot.

This is a WAY better version of the Fat Max than the first one I received.
