Our verdict

A short, wide-bladed FatMax tape for indoor jobs, furniture and trim where a full-length tape is overkill. The listing is thin, with no standout or hook details.

Overview

Stanley built this FatMax tape with a wide alloy steel blade in a tough ABS case and a slide lock to hold a reading. The shorter blade suits room-scale measuring, cabinet work and quick checks around the house.

A wide blade in a compact length reads easily and is quick to handle for small jobs. Detail is sparse, and the listing even disagrees with itself on how many tapes ship.

Who it's for

Indoor projects such as shelves, curtains and furniture placement suit a short tape with a wide blade. Framers and site crews need a longer blade and listed standout figures.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wide blade is easy to read
  • Slide lock holds measurements
  • Compact length for small jobs
  • Tough ABS case
Cons
  • Blade standout not listed
  • Unit count conflicts with single item
  • Short length for site layout

Performance notes

A wide blade stays stiffer when extended, which helps when measuring across a gap without support. The slide lock holds a reading while you mark. Accuracy rests on the end hook, which the listing does not describe.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for the Stanley FatMax 33-716 blade?

The listing gives no care instructions. Release the slide lock before retracting so the blade returns without forcing it.

Is the Stanley 33-716 one tape or a 10 pack?

The listing says 1 item but also shows a unit count of 10 count. The title and description describe a single tape rule.
