The Stanley 25 Foot FatMax Tape Measure is reinforced on the first six feet with BladeArmor coating for maximum durability. A Mylar polyester film extends the life of the entire blade. This tape rule comes with a cushion grip built into the case for a nonslip grip and impact resistance. A top forward blade lock design makes it easier to lock and unlock the blade while a heavy, heat treated spring provides long life and smooth blade recoil. The tape blade measures 25 feet by 1 1/4 inch with a 11 foot tape standout. To simplify framing jobs, the bright yellow, easy to read blade has 16-inch and 19.2 inch stud center markings. About Stanley FatMax Tape Systems and BladeArmor Coating BladeArmor coating is a patented industrial thermoplastic coating, the very same material that has been used to strengthen and protect aircraft parts, such as the rotor blades on the Sikorsky Black Hawk Helicopter. Simply put, it helps aircraft survive war zones, and it also helps tape blades survive construction zones. Applying BladeArmor coating to tape blades reduces both tape breakage and tape returns, enabling it to conquer the toughest testing ground of all on the job site! 5 Tape Measures included
