Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The rounded design makes it easy to pop out of the holder and it fits in your hand nicely too. Has belt clip as usual is really tough. New version of the power lock i think u will be pleasantly suprised.

Great price and great customer service make this purchase a no brainer. All the big box stores have is those * ergo-rubberized fat tapes, or really * generic ones.

This one has a better coating on the blade and a more solid fit between the tape ledge and the tape itself. I expect this one will actually outlast the previous one.



Cons

The first twelve inches are scaled to the 1/32. It's completely unnecessary and now find that zero starts at the one foot mark. This makes it unnecessarily messy and confusing to read. Blade bends after just four feet.

It pops off every time. The action on the blade lock is very stiff, and the material/shape of the button exacerbates the problem. Locking mechanism was broken on arrival.

    I tried using the max type for the extended lengths but they are no longer necessary for what im doing now


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Plus nobody else in the shop uses this type so there is no doubt which is mine


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The return spring and lock still work but i finally bent it and creased it and it cracked


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After this much use there really is no sense putting a refill in it and the label is worn off and its pretty beat up and it really doesnt owe me anything by now


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I hope they dont stop making this model because it doesnt have the fluffappeal of the modern versions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unfortunately i can’t find it in a store anymore


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Including trying other brands with no luck stanley changed the design on some and others “the fat max” are too big for his hand the design shape causes problems with fitting properly in his old leather toolbelt
