Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the standout reach of the tape measure?

The Stanley FatMax Tape Measure has a standout reach of 3.3 meters.

What is the BladeArmor coating?

The BladeArmor coating is a protective layer on the first 7.6cm of the blade that increases resistance to wear and tear.

What kind of markings does the tape measure have?

The tape measure has both metric and imperial markings.

How do I ensure accurate measurements?

Use the TRU-ZERO end hook correctly, ensuring it is flush against the surface when taking measurements.

How should I store the tape measure?

Store the tape measure in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.

Can I use this tape measure for curved surfaces?

The tape measure is designed primarily for straight measurements, but you may be able to estimate the curve with some experience.

What is the advantage of the cushion grip?

The cushion grip provides a comfortable and secure hold, preventing the tape measure from slipping during use.

Troubleshooting

Blade won't retract smoothly.

Check for debris or kinks in the blade and clean or straighten it. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism might be damaged and the tape measure may need to be replaced.

Markings are difficult to read.

Clean the blade to remove dirt or debris that may be obscuring the markings. Ensure adequate lighting when taking measurements.
