FAQs

How do I replace the knife blade?

Press the blade door release button, and the blade will slide out. Insert a new FatMax® Utility Blade and close the door, ensuring the blade locks into place.

What kind of blades are compatible with the retractable knife?

The retractable knife is designed for use with FatMax® Utility Blades.

How do I lock the tape measure blade?

Use the forward blade lock to secure the tape measure blade at the desired length.

How do I care for the tape measure hook?

Keep the hook clean and free from debris. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth will usually suffice.

Can the tape measure be used for overhead measurements?

Yes, but use caution. The 3.35m stand-out helps, but it is important to hold the tape measure securely.

Is the tape measure blade resistant to rust?

The Tru-zero hook is corrosion resistant. The Mylar® coating on the blade offers some protection, but it's best to store it in a dry place.

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information is not available in the provided product details, so refer to the packaging or contact Stanley directly.

Troubleshooting

Tape measure hook is not catching.

Check the hook for debris and clean it. Ensure the hook is properly aligned.

Retractable knife blade won't retract.

Check for obstructions in the blade channel. Replace the blade if it is damaged or stuck.

Tape measure blade is difficult to pull out.

Ensure the blade lock is disengaged. Lubricate the blade channel with a dry lubricant if needed.
