Stanley 33-740L 40' FATMAX Tape Measure

My husband was so happy with it. It feels so solid and sturdy. I come from a long line of carpenters and you can't go wrong with a Stanley. It's the first brand I think of for quality hand tools and tape measures.

This thing is sturdy heavy duty and the tape glide's retracts and comes out easily.

Good measuring tape

The tape arrived. I'm not a metric guy. SOOOOO....... pros: Clear numbers on tape. very small Cons: Very small old guy has difficulty reading small numbers Although it looked good and I'll probably use it when I can't find my other tapes I didn't realize how tiny this tape was. If you're looking for this as a feature it's OK Old guy needs clear tape and bigger numbers.

My husband swears by this measuring tape. He says it’s the best one on the market & is perfect for a contractor like him. It’s heavy but the retraction is strong & lasts a long time. I wish it had a warranty because it does wear out with a lot of regular use but he goes through a lot less than with any other brand. He highly recommends!

I use fatmax only tried other brands and they just don't stand out like these. I used 35 ft for years but I own a construction buisness I do alot of layouts over 60 ft this let's me go out 37 ft before I need to set a nail to continue. Fits well in my hand -xl not bragging but if you have a smaller hand this may be awkward to hold. And yes 37 ft not 40 no tape will consistently go out all the way in the elements without braking or not retracting all the way you can get 40 but beware the springs are going to get worn out doing this repeatedly just how it goes 40 ft of spring retraction is alot of hi strength steel will eventually fatigue like all tapes. Great stand out 10 ft consistently 13ft up without wind or rain as tape isn't designed for extra weight or outside forces none are. Standouts are lab controlled tests but it performs well. I tell mu guys nothing under 35 ft because most structures exceed that granted when if finally dies 75% of the tape looks new the first 20 ft and worn but thats the nature of the job.

Sturdy and it works

Wish it was a little longer but great for a compact tape measure to have. In particular I am a fan of having both metric and imperial and would refuse to use one without metric measurements.

I bought it for table top games, but I am suprised how often I grab it to use it for other things. Need to visualize how large 40 cm or 15 & 2/3 inches is? Just use it. Want to meassure something for whatever reason (how much space do I have to fit a couch? How wide is my current mat and how large would I want my replacement to be?) etc. etc. At this point I have this meassure tape with me at all times, just like a pocket knife, multitool and a lighter (I don't smoke). Simple tools that will always come in handy.

Nice smal tape

長所: 数字が大きくて読み易い。伸ばしても折れにくい。 短所: ゴツくて重たい。値段が高い。

very sturdy .. and useful when measuring long distances

I've been buying Stanley tape measures since before FAT MAX existed. That's how loyal and committed I am to this brand. I actually made money surveying so I have a collection of yellow Stanley tape measures. I needed a 16 foot model, this is the first time. I usually buy longer models, and luv this unit. It's compact and fits in my hand like I'm about to throw a spit ball. Thank you Stanley 😊
