AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers find the tape measure to be a good quality product. It is sturdy, long enough, and durable. The end clip is satisfactory, and the measurement is in the middle of the tape.

"...This tape works perfectly as the measurement is in the middle of the tape with lines going to both sides so it works perfectly for left or right..." Read more
"...however, just as well I can read metric but other than that the tape seems fine, I just hope it lasts longer than the last one I bought on Amazon" Read more
"One of the best tape measures I’ve bought in my 30 odd years as a builder. It’s pretty strong, sturdy and resiliant, so far so good." Read more

Customers have mixed reviews about the tape measure's build quality. Some find it well-made with good features, while others report issues like blade snapping within 3 months, tear, and splitting after a short period of use. The end is also weak and not rugged enough for professional surveying.

Customers have different views on the tape measure's measurement accuracy. Some find it suitable for their needs, measuring up to 3 metres without breaking. They appreciate that it is made in centimeters both sides and is metric only, which is a real plus. However, others mention that it lacks an inch side, which may be of interest for some users.
"...But it's no good, as it only has cm's on it and not inches also. Nothing in the description on the site either." Read more
"is best suited for making ceilings, as it allows you to measure up to 3 metres alone without breaking the tape measure." Read more
"...Good clear markings and numbers. Only downside is there are no inch markings, only centimetres." Read more
"Very high quality, easy to read and metric only is a real plus." Read more

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2019Size Name: 8 mVerified PurchaseFirst off this is a heavy duty tape measure and you will notice it as soon as you pick it up. It is not a nice little light weight item so if that's what your after you're probably better to look elsewhere. It is quite heavy compared to other tapes and it's bulky (8m version is anyway). Also the spring is quite strong so you have to feed the tape back into the case don't just let it rip back on it's own as you may hurt yourself or break it.
I'm left handed and only use metric measurements. I often find using standard tape measures that I have to hold them awkwardly or backwards to get the metric measurement edge where I need it especially when working over head. This tape works perfectly as the measurement is in the middle of the tape with lines going to both sides so it works perfectly for left or right handed people. Also unlike a lot of other tape measures the scale shows the hundreds digit (cm's) at every mark. So for example it shows 168 cms or 275 cms etc. Some only show the hundreds at the metre marks so 100 at the 1m then just 68 at 168 cms and so on.
This is my second as I lost the first one during a move. I waited a few weeks to see if it turned up but it still hasn't. The first one was dropped from ladders, down stairs out of windows and all sorts. It suffered a few nicks from all that abuse but it never broke despite its weight. They are quite expensive but I was lost having to use one of my spare tapes until I gave up searching and just ordered a new one.
The only 2 problems I have ever had with these tapes are as follows:
1. The hook. It's a bit of a double edged sword. It's great to have such a massive hook as it grabs most things really securely. However it also gets caught up a lot as well.
2. If you drop it and it nicks through the chrome coating it leaves very sharp bits. You then have to cut them off and stick some clear tape over it to avoid cuts.
Otherwise these are the best tape measures I have ever owned. Highly recommended.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2023Size Name: 8 mVerified PurchaseI bought this as the cheap one I'd bought years ago from a well known DIY store finally gave in and so glad I did. The mechanism on the old one was a bit cranky and it was generally OK and did the job but the tape often wouldn't go back in but this one is superb! Mechanism is super smooth and the whole thing is chunky and well made. All pros and no cons on this one
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2024Size Name: 8 mVerified PurchaseWell, it seems this Fatmax is only metric, and doesn't have an imperial measurement scale on it, I suppose I should have read the description and not believed the review that said it had both metric and imperial measurements, obviously was a review from a different Stanley Fatmax tape and not the Fatmax Extreme, I think they call it review stacking, however, just as well I can read metric but other than that the tape seems fine, I just hope it lasts longer than the last one I bought on Amazon

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2024Size Name: 5 mVerified PurchaseGood tape measure
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2024Size Name: 5 mVerified PurchaseThe only way it could be improved is to have print on both sides of the tape. Other than that, great.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2024Size Name: 8 mVerified PurchaseHad this for 2 months used daily as an electrician, starting to get stuck when pulling out and won't retract well also starting to split around the 1m area not very impressed.
Have tried to clear out any debris to help retracting still isn't having it.
Won't buy one of these again.
