Stanley Tools - FatMax® Autolock Pocket Tape 8m (Width 32mm) (Metric only)

missing parts

After a few months of using this most days I have to say it’s a nice looking & robust product & the tape itself is very good, but!! The return is REALLY weak & the lock does NOT lock the tape! You have to help the return & the on the lock the tape creeps back in. It doesn’t stay out. This thing has one job & it fails miserably! I’ve tossed my one in the trash & will be looking for something better.

As a professional have had several tape measures and find this Fatmax to be the best. On my second one now. The first lasted about 18 months of daily use. It's still works but is quite tatty and worn so only get used in wet / dirty conditions to preserve the new one. Positives: quility build, great standout length, autolock feature, comfortable to use, easy to read, strong magnet. Negatives: autolock creeps at longer extensions. Belt clip is awkward to use. At this price point would be nice to have dual scale. I.e measurements on both sides of the tape, but it doesn't.

Je viens tout juste de recevoir ce mètre Stanley et franchement, la qualité est là : solide, précis, et le boîtier ergonomique est agréable à manipuler. Le ruban large facilite vraiment la lecture. J’ai enlevé l’aimant parce que les clous et vis restaient collés dessus, ça gênait quand je sortais le mètre de ma sacoche. Après, ça peut être utile pour certains, c’est une question de préférence. Le ruban a tendance à vriller sur lui-même quand on le déroule, ça surprend un peu mais ça finit par passer. Il tient sans décroche jusqu'à 330 cm à peu près mais en pratique plutôt 280 cm. Bref, un bon outil fiable qui promet de bien faire son taf sur le chantier.

Works quite well, but when the brake is applied, it is still very easy to move the scale.
