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”

nice size but sometimes hard to hold the tape end on to a edge

I work on roofs and I frequently drop tools and this has withstood all 3 months that I’ve had it.

Best tape measure I’ve ever used. Only gave it 4 stars because they don’t la jist as long as I wish they would. But they’re better than the classic fatmax, and way better than any other tape.

I love being able to extend the Fat Max put and get the measurements quicker than with a standard tape. I have several of these around the shop.

Fat Max tapes are far superior than any other on the market.

I found it easy to use. I don’t do much work but recently oversaw the updating of my kitchen and found the tape measure easy to use.

I’ve used this measuring tape almost every day this summer. It is easy to read. It doesn’t sag when spanning long distances like cheaper made tapes will. Quality construction and durable. I’ve dropped mine several times and it still functions great!

Good feeling tape and really well built. It has held up to a lot of drops and bad conditions and still works fine. I wish Stanley would make an autolock that feels like this one.

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

Picked this up and glad I did! It is very durable and works well. It holds up to 25 feet and does not bend like other tap measures. It is made of metal but the outer casings is made of plastic. I have dropped it and it has not broken. It is a durable tape measure!

Had been using another brand’s 16′ locking tape measures, but they finally gave way. Switched to the Fat Max 25′, and after a few weeks of use, went out and bought a second. The reach is very helpful too. Glad I decided to give it a try.

I have purchased 20 or more of these tapes in the last few years for all our crews. It is a good sturdy product and holds up under the duress of a job sitr

Bought this to replace many very much older tape measures, that didn’t furl back in correctly … should have done it years ago … much easier to use, faster recoil, all in all, great to update your tape measure.

Great tape clip could be stronger.

As a Union Steamfitter/pipe welder I’ve been using the Fat Max since it’s very inception. It has the longest stand-out of any other tape measure I’ve used and lasts a lot longer as well. This is the very tape measure by which all others are judged. They simply don’t measure up to the Fat Max. Worth every penny!

Best tape around hands down
