I’ve used this tape for a few months now and really like how it feels in your palm. It’s designed to feel almost like a baseball as you’re holding it. Tape readings are very clear and easy to read. Highly recommend buying one for yourself!

I have used many other measuring tapes but the fatmax is my favorite. I use it frequently for engineering field work because it is rugged but also easy to read. I highly recommend it.

Bought 3 of these to have on hand in my shop. Vehicle and tool bag. By far the best of any out there. Love them and will always be a stanley customer.

I’ve had the fatmax for the last 5 years and won’t ever buy another tape again. I have a 25ft and a 16ft that I couldn’t live without. The strength in the standout of the tape is unlike any other. I’m a Sprinklerfitter so the standout of the tape is so important measuring pipe.

I own multiple Fatmax Tape measures. One for the shop, one in different pouches and vehicles. I never want to be without my Fatmax Tape. It’s the best tape around in my opinion.

The ergonomics of this tape measure are great. It fits in your hand comfortably without feeling too bulky. The standout to 13 feet is awesome. The blade will still break down at shorter distances depending on how your holding the tape measure, but overall it still works good. The first one I purchased fell off a eight foot ladder and the internal plastic mechanism that holds the tape in place when locked broke. This meant I could no longer depress the external lever to lock the blade at a specific distance. I was a little disappointed in this because sometimes its necessary to lock the blade at a specific distance when taking measurements and marking on the material. I did like the overall design though, so I purchased a second one. Overall this is a good tape measure, but just be cautious of dropping it because almost the entire product is made of plastic components that aren’t very well protected.

I like the 14’ of reach you can get or 17’ using 2 hands. Very durable. I beat my tools up daily and I use Stanley products cause they hold up

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 to this FATMAX. I will never buy another tape measure other than this one. You could give me another tape measure for free if I lost this one and would still go out of my way to pay for a new FATMAX like this one. Absolutely love it! Go get one today and you won’t ever want another tape. Thanks Stanley for continuing to make exceptional tools at an affordable price. Never change!

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!

I forgot my tape measure at home and stopped at my local home center and purchased this Fatmax, I took a gamble on to Price this job out. Keep in mind I’m a small business trying to survive. All I can say is this is my new go to tape. I love this tape measure it is very smooth and sturdy. Solid is the word of choice to all my coworkers. I will keep my lufkin tape as a back up tape from now on.

I bought this a while ago when they first introduced the smaller FATMAX. I love the smaller, more round design. It drops easily into my belt, I don’t have to fumble around trying to put my tape up. Be careful !!!! On a long run this tape zips in, it will get those fingers if your not careful. I learned the hard way. Thanks
