Tape Measure STANLEY FATMAX Autolock — 120 mm width, 60 mm depth, 180 mm height

The STANLEY FATMAX Autolock tape measure — 120 mm width, 60 mm depth, 180 mm height — is a compact, robust measuring tool designed for construction, carpentry and general DIY tasks. It features an Autolock mechanism that holds the blade in place for hands-free readings and controlled retraction. The tape is supplied as a single piece per pack and is intended to deliver repeatable, accurate measurements for professional and amateur use.

Advantages

The Autolock mechanism secures the blade automatically, reducing the need for manual locking and lowering the risk of blade whip. A durable blade treatment increases abrasion resistance and extends blade life in demanding work environments. The tape's form factor — 120 mm wide, 60 mm deep and 180 mm high — provides a stable grip and makes the tool easy to carry on a belt or in a pocket. Removable hook options and a design that supports precise inner and outer measurements improve versatility on a broad range of tasks.

Suitable for

• Linear measurements on construction sites and building renovations
• Carpentry and joinery work requiring repeatable length checks
• DIY home projects and furniture installation
• Situations where hands-free or single-person measuring is needed

How to use

Pull the blade out to the required length and allow the Autolock mechanism to engage automatically to hold the blade in place for reading. For inner measurements, press the hook against the inside edge and read the measurement accounting for the hook position; for outer measurements, hook the blade on the outside edge and read the length. Retract the blade by releasing the Autolock according to the tool's mechanism, keeping fingers clear of the blade edge. Use the removable or magnetic hook attachments when measuring from metal surfaces or when a different hook configuration improves stability.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape measure in a dry place and avoid dropping it from height to preserve the Autolock mechanism and blade coating. Clean the blade after use if exposed to grit or wet materials to maintain the abrasion-resistant surface. Replace or inspect removable hooks regularly to ensure accurate measurements and safe operation.
