STANLEY® CONTROL-LOCK™5M tape comes with a detachable magnet and a multi-catch hook for better grip and ultimate versatility for use on all surfaces. MULTI-CATCH HOOK: A redesign of our iconic hook provides more contact surface and grip for greater control, while the TRU-ZERO™ feature ensures precise inner and outer measurements. Our premium STANLEY FATMAX range includes a selection of our highest quality and best performing tools and equipment, giving serious Pro’s a significant advantage over the job.

These tapes are used by construction and property professionals, surveyors and engineers throughout the world and for good reason! The blade is made from high grade steel, all are class II accurate whilst the soft grip case provides a quality, comfortable feel not achieved by some other brands whilst also providingg added protection to knocks and scrapes.

This premium tool is printed on both sides of the blade to enable easier overhead measurements, while the innovative new Multi-Catch Hook has been redesigned to provide extra contact surface and grip. Today more than ever the design of each tape that comes out of their doors is based around you, the loyal end user. Nowadays, however, Stanley have abandoned the metal case substituting it for a more advanced impact resistant ABS plastic case. metres The TRU-ZERO™ hook helps to achieve precise inner and outer measurements, moving back and forth along the securing rivets. The tape comes with a large, protruding oversized multi-catch hook, significantly larger than a conventional hook and protruding on all edges - shaped to hook onto building materials with ease above, below and to either side.

NEW DESIGN AND IMPROVED ERGONOMICS: Engineered to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand with a bi-material casing for excellent grip. The most common tend to use a curved metallic ribbon that remains stiff and straight when extended, with lock mechanisms designed to keep the length in place, which then retracts into a coil when not in use. This should give no cause for concern - the Powerlock is still one of our most popular tapes regardless of length.

Measure tapes often have a floating tang or hook at the end, sometimes magnetic, to secure them in place when in use which is ideal if working alone or in awkward spaces. If you're after another brand or perhaps you're not sure quite what type of tape you're after, why not browse through our tape measures catalogue? The tape is equipped with an integrated finger brake, providing users with maximum control and protection when extending and retracting the blade. ABRASION RESISTANT POLYESTER FILM COATED BLADE provides up to 10 times more resistance to abrasion than a standard lacquered blade, increasing the life of the tape and reducing wear on most heavily used sections of the blade.

An essential tool for any trade professional’s toolbox, the STANLEY® FATMAX® tape measure is built to withstand the most extreme jobsite environments. The Powerlock continues to feature a bright yellow blade with clear black and red markings as well as the world-famous chrome plated case. The next generation STANLEY® FATMAX® tape measure is our most resilient and versatile tape measure ever, delivering 4.
