STANLEY FATMAX Blade Armour Magnetic Tape 5M X 32 with Magnetic Hook

The STANLEY FATMAX Blade Armour Magnetic Tape 5M X 32 with Magnetic Hook is a professional measuring tool engineered for precise length and distance measurements in construction, renovation, and DIY projects. This 5-meter tape measure combines robust construction with advanced blade protection technologies, making it reliable for demanding job site conditions and accurate solo measurements.

Advantages

The tape measure features a wide 32mm blade that provides an extended reach of up to 4.2 meters, allowing you to measure confidently from a distance even when working alone. The first part of the blade is reinforced with BladeArmour coating, significantly reducing the risk of breakage at the most vulnerable section. Additionally, the blade is covered with a Mylar polyester film coating that offers up to ten times more resistance to abrasion compared to standard lacquered blades, extending the overall lifespan of the tool. The bi-material case ensures a comfortable grip and enhanced durability against impacts.

Suitable for

• Measuring distances up to 5 meters in construction and carpentry
• Solo measurements on metal surfaces using the magnetic hook
• Accurate inside and outside measurements with the Tru-Zero end hook
• Professional building and home improvement tasks

This measuring tape may not be suitable for long-distance land surveying or measuring applications that require lengths exceeding 5 meters.

Key specifications

• Length: 5 meters
• Tape width: 3.2 cm
• Measurement system: Metric
• Blade coating: Mylar and BladeArmour
• Hook type: Magnetic with multi-catch design
• Color: Black and Yellow

To use the STANLEY FATMAX Blade Armour Magnetic Tape, extend the blade to the desired length while holding the case securely in your hand. The magnetic hook can be attached directly to steel or iron surfaces to facilitate one-person measurements. For accurate internal measurements, press the Tru-Zero end hook against a surface so it shifts to compensate for its own thickness, or hook it over an edge for external measurements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 5-meter length and metric measurement system meet your specific project requirements
• Consider the 32mm blade width and robust casing size if you prefer a compact or lightweight measuring tool
• Evaluate whether you frequently work with metal surfaces where the magnetic hook feature provides an advantage

Always retract the tape measure in a controlled manner to prevent rapid snap-back, which can damage the hook or blade over time. Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain its mechanical condition.
