What Customers Say About Stanley 33-730 30-Foot-by-1-1/4-Inch FatMax Measuring Tape:

After a year and a half of occasional use, the spring broke and is not replaceable. The FatMax has a durable look and feel, but make no mistake, obsolescence is built-in.

I use it all the time and it has held up well to abuse. This tape holds its own up to about 15 feet. That is pretty impressive.

No replacement blades mean wasting a lot of tool, not very green. Major complaint on the tool life gets a 2 there, just over a year with once a week use. Not sure what I am going to do at this point. Very mixed feelings on this tape. Usability it gets 5 stars, the stand off distance is way helpful, a minor issue with the hook, just doesn't grab.

I've been VERY happy with it. The stand-off length on this tape is great.

Take my advice & own this tape. If you pay the little bit extra for this tape measure, you'll wonder how you got by with your old "flimsy" one. After the job was done, he almost didn't want to give me my tape back because he loved it as much as I did.

I was at a job site with a coworker & left my tape in the car. When i showed it to him, he immediately felt the superior weight & feel. Excellent quality.

The tape glides so smoothly & feels very solid. I'm 28 & don't have any kids yet but can forsee my Stanley FatMax being proudly handed down to a future child or grandchild when they come of age. We were measuring with his craftsman brand tape & after a while I was sick of using such a flimsy tape measure.

So I told him I was getting my Stanley FatMax from the car.
