About Stanley FatMax Tape Systems and BladeArmor Coating
The FatMax family of products has established itself as one of Stanley's most extensive and innovative product families in the company's 161-year history. The FatMax line of hand tools features core tools essential for the pro or expert enthusiast who desire high quality, durable tools. BladeArmor coating is a patented industrial thermoplastic coating, the very same material that has been used to strengthen and protect aircraft parts, such as the rotor blades on the Sikorsky Black Hawk Helicopter. Simply put, it helps aircraft survive war zones, and it also helps tape blades survive construction zones. Applying BladeArmor coating to tape blades reduces both tape breakage and tape returns, enabling it to conquer the toughest testing ground of all -- the job site!

Mixed2007-11-26
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. Major complaint on the tool life gets a 2 there, just over a year with once a week use. No replacement blades mean wasting a lot of tool, not very green. Not sure what I am going to do at this point.
Great tape!2007-07-28
The stand-off length on this tape is great. I've been VERY happy with it!
Heirloom Quality2007-05-13
Excellent quality. I was at a job site with a coworker & left my tape in the car. 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. When i showed it to him, he immediately felt the superior weight & feel. The tape glides so smoothly & feels very solid. 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. If you pay the little bit extra for this tape measure, you'll wonder how you got by with your old "flimsy" one. Take my advice & own this tape. 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.
Perfect rough framers tape2007-04-01
They're the only tape that I've used in the past few years. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I still have to occasionally replace it (about once a year), but this is under every day use... and very few tools last forever on a jobsite.
other reviewers are liers2007-02-10
I have owned this tape and several others just like it for years. They are the best tapes I have ever used. I use them every day and I am very rough on them. I have had them tear up on me but it was my fault. In my opinion, the other reviewers dont know what they are talking about. I also read one review that said to buy a Craftsman tape. It must have been written by someone who works at Sears because Craftsman tools are the worst ever made. I quit buying them years ago.
