STANLEY FATMAX FMHT0-10311 Folding Pocket Knife The STANLEY FATMAX FMHT0-10311 is a folding pocket knife with a combination blade - part plain edge, part serrated. The manufacturer classifies it as a pocket knife in the FATMAX range and describes it as a slim, lightweight design for heavy-duty use. Combination blade One blade covers two different jobs. The plain section cuts cleanly through paper, card, film, thin plastic and leather. The serrated section bites and handles rope, webbing, cable insulation and plastic strapping, where a plain edge simply skates. Blade length is 80 mm according to the manufacturer. One-handed opening The blade carries a thumb stud, so the knife opens with the hand holding it. That matters in practice when the other hand is holding a workpiece, a ladder or a cable. Liner lock The blade locks open with a liner lock - a sprung leaf that moves behind the heel of the blade. The lock stops the blade folding onto the fingers under pressure and releases with the thumb, again one-handed. Body and dimensions The body is stainless steel according to the manufacturer's specification, with a finger-contoured ergonomic handle. Closed, the knife measures 190 x 20 x 30 mm at a weight of 0.18 kg. The manufacturer supplies it on a carded blister. Applications The knife is for daily work on site and in the workshop: opening packaging, cutting insulation, tape, rope and strapping, preparing cables. Its slim profile lets it ride in a work trouser pocket without getting in the way.

The plain section cuts cleanly through paper, card, film and leather, while the serrated section bites into rope, webbing, cable insulation and plastic strapping, where a plain edge skates. One knife therefore covers both jobs. Does it open one-handed? Yes. The blade has a thumb stud so it deploys with the hand holding the knife. That is useful when the other hand is on a workpiece, a cable or a ladder. How does the blade lock? With a liner lock - a sprung leaf moves behind the heel of the blade and holds it open. It releases with the thumb, again one-handed. How long is the blade? The manufacturer states a blade length of 80 mm. Closed, the knife is 190 x 20 x 30 mm and weighs 0.18 kg. Is there a belt clip? No. According to the manufacturer's specification this model has no belt clip. The slim profile is intended for pocket carry. Is the blade replaceable? The manufacturer states that the blade is replaceable. That extends the knife's life once the serrated section dulls from cutting rope and strapping. What is it made of? STANLEY's specification gives a stainless steel body. For the blade itself the manufacturer's own sources are not consistent with each other, so no steel grade is stated here. ..

Stanley FatMax Hammer Tacker, Type G Staples 8-12 mm, FMHT81394-9 Stanley FatMax (article number FMHT81394-9) is a hammer tacker for Type G staples in 8, 10 and 12 mm. The magazine holds up to three sticks at once, and the tool weighs 820 g. The housing is nylon composite with a rubberised handle. What a hammer tacker is for With an ordinary tacker you squeeze a trigger; with a hammer tacker you swing it like a hammer and the staple fires on impact with the surface. The difference is pace: one-handed and without aiming, you drive staples at a rate a hand tacker cannot match. That is why the tool exists only for high-volume, low-precision jobs - roofing felt, insulation, vapour barrier, underlay, carpet. Where the exact position of the staple matters, use a conventional tacker. Three sticks in the magazine The magazine takes three sticks at a time. On roofing felt or vapour barrier that is the difference between working continuously and climbing down to reload - and reloading at height is precisely what slows the job. Loading is from the bottom, dropping the sticks straight into the magazine with nothing to dismantle. Staple level indicator The body carries a fastener reload indicator. On a hammer tacker that is more useful than it sounds: an empty tool keeps swinging and striking exactly as before, so without an indicator you discover several metres of felt fixed with nothing at all. Composite housing, 820 g The housing is nylon composite rather than cast steel. On a tool swung for hours at a time, 820 g is materially less than metal equivalents - and shoulder fatigue is the real limit on this kind of work, not durability. The handle is ergonomically shaped and rubberised. There is also a reversible belt clip that mounts on either side depending on which hand you work with. Which staples it takes The tacker fires Stanley Type G staples in three lengths: 8 mm (TRA705T), 10 mm (TRA706T) and 12 mm (TRA708T). Type G is the heavy-duty series - thicker wire and a wider crown than the fine Type A staples, which is why it holds in rough materials. Staples of any other type will not load. Choosing the length The rule is that the staple should penetrate the substrate at least as deep as the thickness of the material being fixed. For thin film onto board, 8 mm is enough; for roofing felt and underlay, 10 mm is the usual choice; 12 mm suits thicker insulation and soft substrates where a short staple does not grip. Technical specifications ManufacturerStanley FatMax Article numberFMHT81394-9 TypeHammer tacker StaplesType G, 8 mm (TRA705T), 10 mm (TRA706T), 12 mm (TRA708T) Magazine capacityUp to 3 sticks LoadingBottom, drop-in Reload indicatorYes HousingNylon composite HandleErgonomic, rubberised Belt clipReversible Weight820 g ApplicationsRoofing felt, insulation, films, underlay, carpet Questions and Answers Which staples does it take? Stanley Type G staples in three lengths: 8 mm (TRA705T), 10 mm (TRA706T) and 12 mm (TRA708T). Type G is the heavy-duty series with thicker wire; other types will not load. How does it differ from a regular tacker? There is no trigger - you swing the tool like a hammer and the staple fires on impact. That delivers pace a hand tacker cannot match, at the cost of precision. Where the exact position matters, use a conventional tacker. What jobs does it suit? Roofing felt, insulation, vapour barrier, underlay and carpet - high-volume work where the exact position of each staple does not matter. How many staples does it hold? The magazine takes three sticks at once. Working on a roof, that is the difference between staying up there and climbing down to reload. What staple length should I choose? The staple should penetrate the substrate at least as deep as the material being fixed. Thin film onto board takes 8 mm, roofing felt and underlay usually 10 mm, and 12 mm suits thicker insulation and soft substrates. What is the reload indicator for? An empty hammer tacker keeps swinging and striking exactly as before. Without an indicator you find several metres of felt fixed with nothing - which is why the indicator earns its place. Why a composite housing rather than metal? On a tool swung for hours, weight is the real limit. 820 g is materially less than metal equivalents, and nylon composite takes the impact without loading your shoulder. ..

Stanley FatMax Speed Drive Ratcheting Screwdriver, FMHT62692-0 Stanley FMHT62692-0 is a ratcheting screwdriver from the FatMax range with the Speed Drive mechanism. It is 290 mm long, weighs 0.293 kg, and is built from chrome vanadium steel. Three double-ended bits are supplied. What Speed Drive does With an ordinary ratchet, driving is interrupted: you turn, bring your hand back, turn again. Speed Drive lets you twist the handle left and right without letting go - the mechanism turns both motions into progress down the screw. The effect is a 360° drive and work that is up to twice as fast over a run of screws. The three zones of the handle The handle is not one shape along its length - it has three zones with different jobs: Speed zone - the narrow part you spin with your fingers while the screw is still going in freely. Torque zone - the wide part you grip with the whole palm for the final tightening. Precision tactile zone - for fine work where feeling the resistance matters more than pushing through. The coating is bi-material, which keeps the grip working with an oily hand. Bit retention The holder is locking and the tip is magnetic. Together they solve two different problems: the magnet holds the screw while you place it one-handed, and the lock holds the bit so it does not stay behind in the screw head when you pull the driver away. Bits and storage The set includes 3 double-ended bits, so six tips in all: PH1, PH2, PZ1, PZ2 and 4 mm and 5.5 mm slotted. They stow inside the handle - which in practice means the screwdriver always travels with its bits, and you never arrive on site holding a driver with nothing to put in it. Who it is for A ratcheting screwdriver is a tool for repetitive work - fitting ironmongery, wiring consumer units, assembling furniture, hinges and locks. Where there are twenty screws and more, each needing ten turns, the difference against a plain screwdriver adds up to real minutes. On one screw an ordinary screwdriver is just as good; on twenty, it no longer is. At 290 mm and under 300 grams this one sits between a pocket driver and a full carpenter's screwdriver: long enough to apply torque, light enough to live in the bag permanently.

It lets you twist the handle left and right without letting go - both motions drive the screw. Over a run of screws that is up to twice as fast. Which bits are included? 3 double-ended bits, so six tips: PH1, PH2, PZ1, PZ2 and 4 mm and 5.5 mm slotted. They stow inside the handle. How do you reverse the ratchet? The ratchet mechanism pulls forward and clicks into the other position. There is also a neutral setting in which the driver works as a rigid screwdriver. Why does the handle have three zones? Each is for a different phase: the narrow speed zone while the screw runs in freely, the wide torque zone for final tightening, and the precision zone when feeling the resistance matters. Does the bit stay behind in the screw? No - the holder is locking. The magnetic tip meanwhile holds the screw while you place it one-handed. The two solve different problems. Does it take other bits? The holder is a standard 1/4" hex, so it takes ordinary bits. The double-ended bits in the set have a longer body and stow in the handle. What is it made of? Chrome vanadium steel, with a bi-material coating on the handle. The warranty is 1 year. ..

Stanley FatMax TradeLift Lifting Tool, 150 kg, Twin Pack, FMHT83552-1 The Stanley FatMax TradeLift (order number FMHT83552-1) is a hand-operated lifting tool for lifting, levelling, holding and spreading heavy or awkward objects. It is supplied as a twin pack, each unit rated at 150 kg with a working travel of 220 mm. The problem it solves Anyone who has hung a door alone knows the difficulty: the leaf must be held at an exact height while the hinges are fixed, and both hands are already occupied. The TradeLift takes the weight and holds it, leaving your hands free. The same applies hanging kitchen cabinets, fitting a window frame, and levelling an appliance or item of furniture on an uneven floor. Hand or foot operated The mechanism is driven by the lever - by hand or by pressing with a foot, which is more convenient when both hands are supporting the load. The contoured handle allows force to be applied without slipping. That foot option is precisely what makes the tool usable where an ordinary jack needs a third pair of hands. Fine adjustment when lowering Lowering is stepped rather than free: each toggle drops the load by up to 2.5 mm. That allows precise levelling - a door comes down millimetre by millimetre until the gap is even, instead of dropping all at once and having to be lifted again. Base and range The base plate measures 170 x 125 x 6 mm with an angled edge that slides under a low object without lifting it first. The plate carries countersunk holes so the tool can be anchored to the floor or to a structure for sustained work. Spreading range is 7 to 220 mm - from an almost closed gap to a substantial lift. Who it is for The pack is aimed at door, window and kitchen fitters, fit-out crews, drylining tradespeople and anyone working alone with heavy, bulky elements. Two units are not excess: a door or cabinet is supported at both ends so it sits both level and at the right height. Total pack weight is 5.52 kg.

Two. That is not excess - with a door, cabinet or worktop, supporting both ends is the only way the element sits level and at the right height at the same time. The single version of the same tool is sold as FMHT83550-1. What weight does it hold? 150 kg per unit, so 300 kg using both together. That covers entrance doors, kitchen cabinets with worktops, washing machines and fridges, and most furniture and installation elements that are lifted by hand. How high does it lift? Travel of up to 220 mm, with the range starting at 7 mm. That low starting figure matters: the angled edge of the base slides under an object without it being lifted first, which would otherwise need a second person or a pry bar. How is the load lowered? In steps of up to 2.5 mm per toggle. This is designed for precise levelling - a door comes down gradually until the gap is even along its whole length. With free lowering that kind of adjustment is impossible. Can it be operated with a foot? Yes, the lever is sized for foot pressure too. That is exactly why the tool exists: when both hands are holding a door or cabinet, a foot is the only free way left to raise the load by a few more millimetres. Can it be fixed in place? Yes, the base plate has countersunk holes for screwing down to a floor or structure. That helps during sustained work in one position, or where the load might push the tool sideways. Does it replace a jack or a sack truck? No. The TradeLift lifts and holds in place; it does not move a load - it has no wheels. It also differs from a vehicle jack in that the travel is short and precise, and the construction is meant to hold a load steady for a long period during installation. ..

STANLEY FATMAX TradeLift Plus Extension Accessory FMHT83556-1 (Twin Pack) The STANLEY FATMAX FMHT83556-1 is a telescopic extension accessory for the TradeLift hand lifting tool, supplied by the manufacturer as a twin pack. It raises the tool's working height into the 295-685 mm range and carries a load of up to 150 kg. What the accessory does The TradeLift on its own works in the low range. The extension slides over the bar and is secured behind the lift plate, continuing the stroke upwards without changing how the tool is used. Its lift plate replicates the parameters of the base plate, so the bearing area under the workpiece stays the same and no stability is lost. Tool-free attachment and adjustment The accessory is secured by aluminium levers at the base - no spanners, no screws. It locks behind the lift plate so it cannot separate from the tool during operation. Height is set with aluminium locking pins at three positions, again without tools. Material and surface protection Construction is aluminium with reinforced plastic components. A removable cover on the lifting plate protects finished surfaces from scratches and marks - which matters when fitting furniture and already-painted components. The article carries the CE mark. Applications The manufacturer names three typical cases: fitting wall cabinets, bath levelling and fitting and installing staircases. What they share is a heavy or bulky component that has to be raised, held at an exact height and adjusted by one person. Pack contents and related articles STANLEY lists FMHT83556-1 as two telescopic extension accessories. The same accessory is also sold singly under article FMHT83554-1. The extension is an addition to the TradeLift - the lifting tool itself is not part of this article.

It is for the STANLEY FATMAX TradeLift hand lifting tool. It slides over the tool's bar and is secured behind the lift plate, continuing the stroke upwards. The lifting tool itself is not part of the article. What height does it reach? The manufacturer states working heights of 295-685 mm for the accessory. The telescope locks at three positions with aluminium pins, so height is set in steps and without tools. How many kilograms does it take? STANLEY states a maximum load of 150 kg. The lift plate replicates the parameters of the tool's base plate, which keeps the bearing area and the stability at that load. Are tools needed to fit it? No. It is secured by aluminium levers at the base, and height is set with aluminium locking pins. Neither operation needs spanners or screws. Can it separate from the lift during work? The accessory locks behind the lift plate. STANLEY states that it therefore cannot come away from the tool in operation - that is built into the design, not an added precaution. Will it scratch a finished surface? The lifting plate carries a removable cover made for exactly that - protecting finished surfaces from scratches and marks when fitting furniture and painted components. Is there a single-accessory version? Yes. Article FMHT83556-1 contains two accessories, and the same accessory on its own is article FMHT83554-1 according to the manufacturer. ..

Stanley Folding Utility Knife with Metal Body, 0-10-598 Stanley 0-10-598 is a folding utility knife with a metal body and a locking blade. It takes standard trapezoid blades and is made to be carried in a pocket. Folding, not retractable The difference from an ordinary utility knife matters. On a retractable knife the blade slides into the body lengthwise - the body stays long even when the knife is not in use. On a folding knife the blade pivots into the handle like a pocket knife, so the closed knife is half the length. The practical consequence is one thing: this knife lives in a pocket. It is not the tool for a day of cutting plasterboard; it is the knife that is always on you - for string, tape, cartons, film, sheeting, labels. The metal body The body is all metal. On a folding knife that matters more than on a retractable one, because the pivot is a load point: with a plastic body the hole around the axle wears oval and the blade starts wobbling sideways - the moment the knife becomes dangerous. A metal body keeps the pivot tight for years. Blade locking The blade locks in the open position. That is essential on a folding knife: without a lock the blade can close onto your fingers under pressure at an awkward angle - the commonest cause of injuries with pocket knives. Standard blades The knife runs standard trapezoid blades - the same ones ordinary utility knives use. That means no special spares to buy: blades are on the shelf in any builders' merchant and cost pennies. Change a dull blade at once - a blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, because it needs more pressure and slips more easily. Who it is for The knife is for anyone who does not carry a tool bag but regularly needs to cut something: warehouse staff, delivery drivers, maintenance technicians, electricians, drivers. Its compactness is the point - it goes where a full-size utility knife stays in the van.

On a retractable knife the blade slides in lengthwise and the body stays long. Here the blade pivots into the handle like a pocket knife, so the closed knife is half the length. Does the blade lock? Yes - it locks open. Without a lock the blade can close onto your fingers under pressure at an awkward angle, the commonest cause of pocket-knife injuries. Which blades does it take?

For everyday pocket carry - string, tape, cartons, film, sheeting, labels. It is not the tool for a day of cutting plasterboard. When should I change the blade? As soon as it starts dragging instead of cutting. A blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp one - it needs more pressure and slips more easily. Does it store spare blades? No - this is a compact folder with no storage compartment. Compactness is exactly its advantage; for built-in blade storage, look at the retractable models. ..
