The Stanley FATMAX 33-725 is the 25-foot tape measure that set the standard for standout — 11-foot extension before the blade buckles, a Mylar-coated blade for durability, and the chunky rubber-wrapped case that survives drops from scaffolding. This is the specific FATMAX model stamped Made in USA, manufactured at Stanley’s American plant.
The 11-foot standout means you can measure across most doorways, most ceilings, and across room widths without needing a helper to hold the far end — a real time-saver on framing and rough-carpentry work. Metric markings on the back edge, 2x coating on the first foot for abrasion resistance, and a belt clip sized for real work pants.
Stanley Black & Decker manufactures the 33-725 FATMAX tape at its New Britain, Connecticut facility — the Made-in-USA version of the FATMAX line that a lot of tradesmen specifically ask for. Carries Stanley’s limited lifetime warranty.
