Stanley FATMAX 16 ft. Tape Measure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this version very visible and easy to find in my truck tool box. The tape is sturdy and is easier to view in less than optimal conditions it has been subject to moisture and hasn’t rusted yet and the back side has light scratches underneath but nothing too deep. The coatings are better than the older cheaper models.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for Stanley Fat max 16ft Tape Measure. The size is small but heavier than I expected it weighs just as much as my 25ft (different brand) . I like the american flag on the front. The grip is very comfortable. I would have liked to see more rubber molding. I really like the belt clip works great easy on/off pocket on my shorts. The tape itself is wide with large numbers to include the 16 on center red numbers and really nice durable coating however I prefer a fractional tape measures. Having all the fractions is just easier. The tape locking mechanism works smoothly and to unlock works smoothly however it does retract very quickly the quickest of all my tape measures.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It fits my hand really good. Allows me to work more efficiently.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure is very durable. I like that it fits into my hand, and it’s compact, not too heavy. My new favorite tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The wide blade is nice & the numbers & graduations are easy to read. And, although it is easy to engage the lock with one hand, it takes two hands to release it-I could not do it with one hand as it was so stiff. It is a bit wide & cumbersome for a 16″ tape measure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this new design. Has a sturty design and high quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, readily readable and stiff blade stands up well for measurements vertically.Read directions for removing from packaging to avoid scratching the clip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this tape about a month and used it for several small projects. On the pro side the large type is terrific, especially for dimly lit areas and for those of us getting a little older. I also love the shape, it fits nicely in one’s hand and I never feel like it wants to slip out. Additionally, I like how the end piece is securely fastened, and not loose as with other tapes I own. On the con side, I think it is a bit heavy, but this may be due to the larger tape and heavy duty construction. I also wish I had opted for a longer length tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been in construction for the last 12+ years and have always used Stanley tape measures. I have mostly used the 25′ tapes but this time decided in the 16′ instead. It’s a great tape for carpentry projects where anything over 16 feet is unnecessary. Fantastic tape measure, once again. Thanks, Stanley!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am disabled and it is getting harder and harder for me to find tools that are easy for me to use. This 16 ft. FATMAX tape is exceptional for me to handle and use. It is a little heavy but still lighter than most tapes in its class. There is a black grip surface on the top and the bottom that helps me to grip it; I drop this tape much less often. I can extend the tape to cut studs or plywood without it bending on me; this allows me to measure without having someone to help me! The quality of this tape measure is exceptional and I truly believe it is the last tape that I will ever need!
