STANLEYTools 33-716 16ft. Fat Max Tape Rule

I bought this 16 foot Stanley tape measure because it’s a better size than the 25 foot and you rarely need 25 feet one building things. Stanley makes a better tape measure than most others.

Fat Max, great little tape

This is my go to measuring tape for the various home remodeling projects I do. It's the best one out there. 16' is a perfect length for most tasks. I love the fact the tape will extend a very long way without flopping over.

Great deal. Awesome tape.

I used to have a 25' Stanley Tape Measure that I swear said like "Ultra Fatmax" and it had a two inch wing front for grabbin' onto stuff, and I don't even think it was Yellow it was Orange.It could extent like 16 - 18 feet before it buckled and I could have assembled Mount Olympus inside of a day with that thing.I had it for two years before some stack of skin folds hit a sheer peddle early and destroyed it.The sorrow and rage I felt in that moment is known to very few humans on this planet.ALL that said, while this Tape Measure isn't THAT tape measure, it's still a very good one.Thanks Stanley, and if you ever start making the Orange "Super" Fatmax (or whatever it was called) with the wide front wing, if you ever make that one again, lemmie know.

The tape itself is very durable and you can reach it out nice and far and it has a hook on both ends which is convenient when you need to hook from the top side. The one thing I don’t like is that when it’s reached out farnit doesn’t pull back in on its own very easily. Worth the money I’d say probably not going to find a better all purpose tape.

Great product! Husband loves them!

I’m a sheet metal worker so I don’t have to measure things over 16’ very often but I carry a 25’ tape in my bag just in case. I always tell people to buy a 16’ tape because it weighs less and fits in the palm of your hand a lot better than a 25’.This was the first tape I fell in love with since I got into my areas sheet metal union. It’s a great tape for a great price, fits in the palm of your hand nicely and it’s not too expensive relative to others. I’ve dropped it many times and it never broke. This tape does note display 1/8 inch markings to make it easier to read then this isn’t the tape for you if you need that.My only complaint is I had 10 years of use from mine and I decided to buy one on Amazon from their preowned/return item section to save a few bucks because it said the product was “like new and will come in different packaging than it’s original”. I ended up returning it because you can tell it was most likely a homeowner who bought the tape measure to do a job or two around the house and then had plans on returning it once finishes. It has dents and scratches on the outer plastic part of the tape measure and the actually tape itself had scuffs on it and was worn out. It was basically false advertising on amazons part so I ultimately retuned it. I had just bought the used one because it said it was like new but that was false and it was a savings of something like 3-4 dollars…I’d rather pay the extra 3-4 dollars for a brand new one that has been used and abused already.
