Recommended Tape Measure - 35 Foot Fat Max Tape Measure from Stanley
Tape Measures are perhaps the most used tool in any DIYer or Professional’s tool belt. If you’re in the market for a new tape measure, we highly recommend the 35′ FatMax Tape Measure from Stanley. Amazon sells the FatMax at that link, and the tape qualifies for free shipping + Amazon doesn’t charge sales tax in most places, making this a great deal. Here’s more details:
The FatMax offers all the features of a standard tape, but is slightly wider than most tapes, making it more stable and easier to read. With 35 feet of tape, the FatMax works even on long runs, but doesn’t take up more space than most 25-foot tapes. Additional features include:
- Tape rule with first 6 feet reinforced with BladeArmor coating for maximum durability
- 11-foot tape standout; 16-inch and 19.2-inch stud center markings simplify framing jobs
- Mylar polyester film extends the life of the entire blade; stainless steel wearplate protects case
- Heat-treated spring provides long life and smooth blade recoil
- Stanley’s limited lifetime warranty; measures 1-1/4-inch-by-35-feet
Additional Fat Max Tape Sizes
The Fax Mat is also available in shorter lengths (25 feet and 30 feet) at a slightly discounted price for the smaller versions.
