Stanley FatMax Classic Black 8m Tape Measure with BladeArmor
Built to withstand daily site and workshop use:
The Stanley FatMax Classic Black tape measure carries BladeArmor coating on the first 100mm of the blade, reducing the risk of blade breakage in that section by 95%. The full length of the blade is protected by Mylar coating, which makes it up to 10 times more resistant to abrasion than normal lacquered blades - a meaningful difference on a busy building site or in a working workshop.
Accurate over long distances, readable from any angle:
With 3.35 metres of blade standout, this tape measure allows a single person to take extended measurements without needing a second pair of hands. The blade is double-sided printed with both metric and imperial graduations, so readings are clear regardless of which way the tape is running. Class II accuracy provides a tolerance of ±0.5mm at 1 metre, meeting European standards for professional measurement tools.
Designed for precision at both ends of the tape:
The Tru-Zero floating end hook moves back and forth along its securing rivets to compensate for hook thickness, giving accurate readings for both inner and outer measurements. The multi-catch hook design provides a larger contact surface for better grip and control when hooking over an edge or corner.
