Customer Reviews:

A Great Level [Posted on 2002-11-22]
I have the 2', 4', and 6' Fat Max level so you can imagine I am pleased with the brand. Why?:

1. The weight. Because this is made out of aluminum it is very light. This comes in handy when you are working up on a ladder or overhead. Other levels I've used, made out of wood, tend to be heavy and awkward to use.

2. The rubber ends. This is helpful when doing finish work so as not to damage your finished product by scratching or dinging.

3. The large grab holes. They are perfect and helpful when carrying the level up a ladder.

The Stanley Fat Max products are great so I think you'll be pleased with this item.

Good level, but caps on ends don't last [Posted on 2006-01-29]
I've own the 2', 4', and 6' versions of this level for a few years now. They became very popular at the job site when I brought them in recently due to their weight... my co-workers were VERY happy with the fact that they weigh seemingly almost nothing. This is compared to the Stabila levels that are used there now. The Stabila cost three times as much, weigh more, and the accuracy level difference isn't noticeable. It's also very convenient to have the full length of the level as a straight edge... Stabila's has magnets (which collect garbage and effect accuracy) and vials to interfere when needing to use them for marking.

The only downside is the flimsy construction of the end caps. They snap into the level and both my 4' and 6' levels had at least one end break to where they no longer stay in. They're glued in now, but I still think these levels are worthy of a full five-star rating.
