Title: Very high quality tape measure
Review: The Stanley Fatmax tape measure is an amazing tape measure. Me and my crew have only used these for the past 10 yrs. They last, the tape is fat and doesn’t tear easy, the graduations are easy to read and never fade and are always accurate, and it is bright colors so you can always find it and is built like a tank in the USA!! The bladeguard really does protect the blade and there is a plastic tape liner for the first couple of inches riveted in for additional support. Absolutely value for the money because one tape will last you 5x longer!

Title: One of the BEST tape measures I have ever used.
Review: Attention, tool lovers and DIY disasters alike: the Stanley Fat Max 30-Foot Tape Measure is here to turn your home improvement dreams into reality—and measure your failures with incredible precision!When I first held the Fat Max, I felt a surge of power—like Thor grasping his hammer, only this tool won’t summon lightning (hopefully). This isn’t just a tape measure; it’s a beacon of hope for those of us who can’t eyeball a straight line to save our lives. Its tape is so sturdy it can double as a makeshift leash for when my dog decides he’s the neighborhood escape artist.With a standout of a whopping 11 feet, I can measure my living room without the help of my lazy brother-in-law. The tape measure clicks like a boss every time I extend it, which is oddly satisfying. And the rubber casing? I dropped it from my roof, and it bounced back with the enthusiasm of a toddler on a sugar rush—not a scratch on it.I've measured everything from the size of my new coffee table to the slowly increasing distance between my fridge and couch. Spoiler alert: they're getting further apart, and so is my relationship with exercise.If you're looking for a tape measure that can endure the wilds of suburbia and the chaos of construction, look no further. The Fat Max doesn't just measure spaces; it expands them—with possibility, precision, and a bit of humor. Five stars for making me feel like the ruler of my domain (literally).

Title: Great product
Review: I have had a tape measure like this for a long time. A neighbor saw it and liked it so much I ordered one for him too. It is nice and sturdy and easy to use, especially for measuring long distances because it doesn't twist.

Title: Hands Down My Favorite!
Review: I have been sold on Fatmax measuring tapes for longer than I can remember. Blade sturdiness, extension and durability are the main reasons for this. I normally use Imperial and always have a couple of backups at all times.

Title: Honored their warranty
Review: An update to the review below. I sent my fat max back to Stanley and they sent me back another brand new one. So far the new one works perfectly. Stanley has added a protective coating to the end of the tape which has already peeled off and taken the measurement marks with it. I use my tale fairly regularly, buy not in extreme environments. It should last years, not 3 months.

Title: It's a Stanley - need to say more? Nope!
Review: Excellent tape measure. Bought this to replace the one my son-in-law took. Strong, easy to read and a good price.

Title: Good value
Review: Bought the 25 to replace a 30 fatmax that just finally lost it and a cheaper 25 craftmans that snapped 7 days before that. I like the smaller fatmax as the 30 should only be used when you need it. Maximum extension is a must. i am intrigued by the new 16 Still to wide for my toolbelt so you need to use the hook

Review: Stanley FATMAX will be my favorite for a long time. 11 foot stand out (approximately, but 10 feet foe show). Great quality and fair price.

Review: I was given blueprints that were all in metric, so buying this tape saved me from having to convert all the dimensions. It has the typical Fatmax quality you would expect.
