Overview
A two-pack of Stanley FatMax 25-foot tape measures with an 11-foot standout, Blade Armor coating on the first 3 inches, and 16 and 19.2 inch stud-center markings for framing layout.
The 11-foot standout is the number that matters most for a one-person job, letting the blade extend that far and hold rigid before it buckles, longer than many standard tapes manage. Two tapes in the box suit a crew or a job site spare rather than a single household user. The stud-center markings at 16 and 19.2 inches are a framing-specific shortcut, of limited use outside that trade.
- 11 foot rigid standout
- 16 and 19.2 inch stud-center markings
- Blade Armor coating on first 3 inches
- Two 25 foot tapes included
Who it's for
Framers and remodelers who need a rigid, long standout for one-person measuring and want a spare in the truck. Less relevant to someone doing light household measuring who will not use the stud markings.
Pros and cons
- 11 foot standout holds rigid for one-person work
- Two tapes included, one for a spare
- Stud-center markings speed up framing layout
- Stud markings are of no use outside framing
- Heavier armor coating adds bulk versus basic tapes
Performance notes
Blade Armor coating on the first three inches protects the section that takes the most wear at the hook end, while a Mylar polyester film coats the rest of the blade to resist abrasion over time. The top-forward blade lock secures the blade at length without reaching around the case, and a three-rivet Tru-Zero end hook is built to stay accurate as it loosens with use.
