Customer Reviews:

FatMax is GREAT [Posted on 2006-03-03]
I have has several tapes in the past as I work in the Construction Industry. This tape is wide enough to stand up for easy vertical measurements and to act as a pointer in ceiling spaces 7 or 8 feet over my head. The case and the tape are also robust enough to withsatnd the rigours of a construction site.

You need this! [Posted on 2006-07-11]
If you work interiors, 25 ft. is a good manageable legnth to measure the size of the room or the height of a ceiling. Anything shorter won't measure up and anything longer is overkill... unless you are building a mansion.

But what about those times when you need to measure a Sony DVD player to cut out a faceplate? Or what about when you need to lay down European tiles? You need a conventional/metric tape.

DIY and professionals alike will appreciate the conventional and metric measurments on this tape. The numbers are easy to read, plus the 16" and 19" stud markings are really helpful. The casing is compact and the rubber grip fits nicely into the hand. Of course, I've dropped it many times despite all that, but the casing did not break - pretty durable.

Tapes [Posted on 2007-07-01]
I have been using this tape measure for a while now - Stanley FatMax. Like them a lot. The only downside is the tape is so stiff that is gets bent faster than most others I have used. I replace them faster than some others. But that sometimes really dependents on how you treat you measuring tapes. Like to see a better tape measure. So far this is the one I've been using. No complaints other than wish they sold the tape seperate from the casing for faster replacement / cheaper sales.
