Tools 33-716 16ft. Fat Max Tape Rule

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.

Excellent tape measure. Durable, easy to use, and very accurate. Perfect for everyday work. Highly recommended.

It’s a Fat Max. Really all there is to say. It’s the best tape . You can extend it out 12 feet and it won’t fold over.

If you need to measure anything with a generous length, this is tape measure for you.

It's just like all my other FatMax tapes exept for the lovely difficult to remove sticker leaving sticky residue on the face that identifies the legnth... but that's not Stanley's fault.

Estas cintas son bastante duraderas. Te las recomiendo 100% comprarlas

Just what I expected, the fat max is very superior to all other tape measures

I’m a new PM. This tape makes me feel and look like not a new PM. You, your team, and your boss want this tape. The magnet is a game changer and the thick letters leave me wondering how I ever got measurements before. The weight of the tape makes it feel nice and sturdy, I wish the tape measure itself was a firm 3” rather than 3 1/8” but that’s typical and clearly marked. Size fits right in my bigger palm. The design is great given the sturdiness and larger lettering with a magnet to help hold in place on solo jobs. Great utility and tool to have. Good bang for buck - but check Home Depot for a 2 for 1 sale that occurs every once in awhile…

Alright I am not a guy to write reviews often but I have to be honest this is the greatest measuring tape I have ever seen in my entire life,it’s so easy to read and very accurate and sturdy and can handle hard work,it changed my life greatly and I don’t know where I would be without it,it makes every other measuring tape I used a piece of junk,if I was to use one measuring tape for the rest of my life it would have to be this one,and I truly believe it should be the only measuring tape people use globally,once u use it and feel the euphoria of it while using it, you will remember this review,this measuring tape is life changing

Product is awesome as all Stanley fat max tapes are best on the market hands down. Sadly mine got caught in a 1” gap on some party walls and couldn’t get it out so the tape broke lol.

Très bon produit, je recommande

The depiction of the tape measure shows the American flag above the printing. The tape measure I received has no such flag, and is not American made. The product is not defective, just misrepresented

Great tape useful for longer measurements. Only accurate to 1/8 inch. Thin tape with claw makes it easier for one person to make measurements by themselves.
