Not only designed to be ultra compact, but the STANLEY FATMAX® Autolock Tape provides an ergonomic bi-material case that offers increased grip and comfort for ease of use. The Autolock technology ensures the blade feeds out, retractable simply by pressing the button. Plus, the Mylar® coated blade offers 10 times more resistance to abrasion and wear, compared to a lacquered blade - fitted with a Tru-Zero® end hook that moves to compensate for inside and outside measurements, which ensures an accurate reading. The 3m blade not only stands-out for increased reach and easier measuring, but it also includes a detachable hook too - allowing the user to work efficiently in different conditions.
