Customer Reviews

Good Tape
I own a couple 25' Fat Max tapes, and really like them, so I decided to give this one a try.It is a good tool but bare in mind that the 3:1 gear ratio is 1 crank of the handle for 3 revolutions of the internal spool.This make for a fast rewind but not ease of cranking.I felt I was about to break the handle off the first time I realed it in .It seems to be getting looser with wear though.This may not be typical of each tape,I may have received an extra tight one.I dought that you will be dissapointed.

Not the best in my book
The 3:1 rewind ratio is to much, a 2:1 would be sufficient unless you plan to wind it up from the 75-100' area. The tape is flimsy and bends easy. After snapping lines on only 3 houses, the blade wont even lay flat from being bent. The hook on the tip is really loose, and not very accurate, and also doesn't have a hole to drive a nail into to hook it on. Unless you really want the fast rewind aspect, I wouldn't pay the extra money for it. Note: 25' Fat Max works great.....

Stanley 100' FatMax is #1!
This is a fantastic 100' tape! Stanley FatMax measuring tapes are so much easier to read! (Not that we are getting older or anything...)I order tools for my contracting crews all the time...so I thought I'd see how the guys liked to try a FatMax. Well, now they all fight over them! A stronger, stiffer blade...and a much easier grip. They say they love the fast rewind especially! The 100' tape is great and the 30' tape is even better for the carpenter/contractor...you won't be disappointed.
