Great tape measure — I’ve probably bought 20 of these for work because the quality is that good. The blade is strong with excellent standout, the lock holds tight, and it can handle jobsite abuse without falling apart. Reliable, durable, and worth every penny. I won’t use anything else. Read more

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). Read more

I don't know what they were thinking taking this from thier flagship tape. Its still the best regular tape measure made. SMALL hooks, NO magnets, tape measures peaked at this model right here, unless you use those things specifically for your job. This was, is, and most likely will be, the best overall general purpose. They used to have a warrantee, well that didn't work out so well and they should have known better. Wore out? Go to lowes, they don't care. Durable, NOT so bendy (the standout is alot better due to lack of weight on the end). Better than a homeowner needs, unless he's building a deck or remodeling. Its 40% off right now. Thats pretty good, this is a good price. Its a 20$ tape for sure. Read more

Seriously I have never had a problem with anything from Stanley. Good quality,well made for the price. This tape is sturdy and has less bendability due to its width. So it holds up literally when measuring alone. Thats a keeper. Strong sprind action for retraction,with no hesitation. A good tape for sure. Read more

I'm a cabinetmaker and I've bought several of the tapes. I like the ease of reading. The end is prone to slipping off when measuring which drives me crazy. I'll probably keep buying them as they no longer make my favorite tape. Read more
