Faithful
Really like these tapes. I've been using them and faithful to them for years as a pipefitter. But now I see alot of the Fat Max on the market are imported. Very disappointing to see that. Stanley, be faithful to America like many of your customers have been to this Made in USA product!!!

Good strong tape measure
These tape measures are great. We have tons of them, and they are some of the most durable tape measures around.

A Hitch in time saves lots of time.
I am a strong user of this tape because it reaches out further than I can reach with my hands and I can get a real good accurate measurement and not worry about cutting something twice and finding it still to short. This ruler makes quick work of being by yourself and getting the correct measurements. it snaps back into its case with little or no effort. Catches on y...

The Best Tape!
The Fat Max is the Best Tape in the Industry. I'm a 40 year Journeyman Carpenter and I have 2 15 year old Fat Max 35' tapes that I still use. I only buy Stanely Fat Max Tapes. All others are Not an Option!

Fat max
It doesn’t “hang” up like some other tape measures do. Easy to use. Easy to read. Not too heavy to carry around. One of my favorites

"Fat Max"
This tape measure is one of the best on the market. This "Fat Max" is comfortable, easy to read and love the magnet on the end. Highly recommend this Stanley product.

Great product with great features
I really like the Fatmax tape because it allows me to run the tape out quite a way without the tape collapsing. It also makes it very easy to read the numbers. The colors makes it easy to keep track of the tape measure.

Only tape I'll ever own.
This particular model is the best tape measure ever made IMO. Have the 16', 25' and 35'. The 35' I bought in 2010 and still use it today.

Not what they used to be.
Fat Max used to be a great tape measure. They are made of thinner metal now and are absolutely worthless.They buckle like a wet noodle when you try to extend them.I expected better from Stanley Tools.

Awesome tape
One of the best tapes I've owned. As a pipefitter I use it daily and it holds up to some of the toughest jobsite conditions. Make sure you buy the American made version sometimes the promotion fatmax tape packs are not. Only cons is I wish there was a version with bottom sided measurements and the belt clip screw could be stronger as I've had em strip out before. Other ...

One Handed Tape Measure
The Stanely FATMAX25 FT tape measure is a best at any job site. with easy to read measurements and an
ergonomic grip, it is the only tape measure you need for big and small jobs. Plus the rubber casing makes it durable when you drop it and you know you will.

They are my favorite tape measures. Tried most of the competitors and this one last longer.
Rubber grip makes a great pencil mark eraser.
Constantly measuring over 20 foot long gutters so they get alot of full length usage. Have a few broken ones I would like to test warrantee on also
