Measuring tape STANLEY FATMAX Blade Armour Magnetic Tape 5 m x 32 mm

STANLEY FATMAX Blade Armour Magnetic Tape 5 m x 32 mm is a professional measuring tape designed for precise linear measurements in construction, carpentry and general trade work. The tape features a 32 mm wide high-visibility blade with clear metric markings and a magnetic end hook that simplifies single-person measuring on metal surfaces. Blade Armour and Mylar coatings increase resistance to wear and reduce the risk of blade breakage, while a bi-material case and Tru-Zero end hook improve handling and measurement accuracy.

Advantages

The 32 mm wide blade provides extended standout for longer unsupported measurements, while high-visibility graphics make readings quick and reliable. Blade Armour protection and a Mylar coating significantly increase blade durability and lower the chance of damage during everyday use. A magnetic end hook with a patented Multi-Catch design enables secure attachment to ferrous surfaces for one-person operation, and the Tru-Zero end hook supports accurate inside and outside measurements. The bi-material case offers improved grip and impact resistance for on-site use.

Suitable for

• Measuring lengths and distances on construction sites
• Carpentry and joinery layout and fitting
• Metalwork and sheet-metal measuring using the magnetic hook
• DIY projects and general household measuring tasks

Key specifications

• Blade length: 5 meters
• Blade width: 32 mm
• Blade finish: high-visibility graphics with Mylar coating
• End hook: magnetic with Multi-Catch design and Tru-Zero functionality
• Standout capability: extended standout for longer single-person measurements
• Case: bi-material construction for improved grip and impact resistance

How to use

Pull the blade from the case to the required length and engage the lock to hold the blade in position. Use the magnetic end hook to attach the tape to ferrous surfaces for stable single-person measuring, or use the end hook against edges for inside or outside measurements relying on the Tru-Zero calibration. Retract the blade slowly with the lock released to avoid abrupt rewinding that can damage the blade or coatings.

Usage recommendations

To extend the life of the tape, avoid retracting the blade at full speed, keep the blade clean of debris and moisture, and store the tape in a dry place. Use the magnetic hook on metal surfaces only where safe to do so and inspect the blade regularly for wear or nicks that could affect measurement accuracy.
