It suits carpenters, shopfitters, electricians and serious home renovators.
Choosing Stanley FatMax tools
- Tape length. The Stanley FatMax Pro Tape Measure 5m XTHT0-33671 is handy for joinery and interior work. The Stanley FatMax Pro Tape Measure 8m XTHT0-33501 covers room setting-out and decking in one pull.
- Hammer weight. The Stanley FatMax Anti-Vibe Claw Hammer 570g FMHT1-51277 is a general carpentry weight with a handle designed to cut vibration over a long day.
- Cutting. The Stanley Fatmax Retractable Utility Knife 0-10-778 is the everyday blade. For sheet metal, pick the Stanley FatMax Aviation Straight Tinsnip Plier 2-14-563 or the Stanley FatMax Aviation Left Hand Tinsnip Plier 2-14-562 for curves.
- Fixing and carrying. The Stanley Fatmax 2-in-1 Multi Tacker FMHT70250-0 fires staples and brads for insulation, fabric and trim. The Stanley Fatmax Tool Bag 1-93-950 has a wide opening and enough pockets for a full site kit.
Stanley FatMax or standard Stanley?
Standard Stanley tools are solid everyday hand tools. FatMax steps up the materials, grips and durability for people who rely on the same tape, hammer or knife all day. If you measure once a week, a standard tape will do. If you pull a tape fifty times a day, the wider FatMax blade and tougher case earn their keep. The Stanley FatMax 5in1 Hacksaw 300mm 0-20-108 is a good example: a multi-position frame for metal, plastic and awkward corners.
Stanley FatMax tools are in stock at our Claremont, Cape Town shop, with nationwide courier delivery. Our staff use FatMax tapes and knives daily and can help you choose. See also tape measures and utility knives.
