Stanley FATMAX BladeArmor Magnetic Tape Measure, 8 m x 32 mm, FMHT0-33868

Stanley FATMAX BladeArmor Magnetic Tape Measure, 8 m x 32 mm

A tape measure from the FATMAX range with an 8 metre blade 32 mm wide. The hook is magnetic and grips steel by itself, and the blade is accuracy class II - a tolerance of ±0.5 mm per metre.

Standout of 4.2 metres

Standout is 4.2 m. That is the length over which the extended blade holds itself horizontally without folding down. Measuring across a room or along a ceiling, this figure decides whether you can work alone or need a second person to hold the end.

BladeArmor and the blade coating

The first 7.5 cm of the blade are reinforced with BladeArmor - exactly the section that is pulled out and retracted on every measurement and the first to tear. The rest of the blade carries an abrasion-resistant polyester film for which Stanley states up to 10 times the wear resistance of a standard lacquered blade.

The hook

The hook is Tru-Zero - it slides by exactly its own thickness, so zero stays true for both inside and outside measurements. The design is multi-catch: it grabs an edge from above, below and the side rather than only from below. The magnet is detachable, so it can be removed when it is in the way.

Applications

Drywall, carpentry, steel structure and HVAC work, where the magnetic hook latches onto a stud or a duct and frees a hand. Weight is 0.45 kg, with a built-in belt clip.
