Highlights
Quality
Nice, heavy duty, sure it will hold up for a long time
Tape lock works great as well as the tapes ability to stretch out to 10’ or more before breaking over.
This one still failed due to use in the rain the tape measure began to rust out.
Long overdue replacement for my older stanley 25' tape that was only 3/4" wide.
Price
Spent the extra $ to get these vs.
At the cost for these, i don't want to test it though.
At the price in aug 2023, not so much.
Shipping
Delivery was so prompt, i couldn't believe it!
Competitiveness
The fat max still outlast any other tape measure i've tried several top brands.
Neither lasts as long as a stanley.
2 of the best tapes is one of the best deals around, stanley fat maxes are the trade standard for tape measures.
