Review on Stanley FMHT33865S FATMAX Magnetic Tape by Jojo Howell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Avoid, many of them have weak feathers.

Preface: When I found out mine was faulty I went to Wal-Mart and found that half the shelves defective on the shelf were the same way. Review: I recently bought one of these and the first time I used it I knew something was wrong. It unrolled too easily and once extended about 120 inches it wouldn't automatically retract properly and I had to manually reel it all the way in until it retracted again near the end. Then he moves and makes a funny noise. Another problem caused by a weak spring is that you don't get tension when the end is hooked and crimped so the end falls off and doesn't stay hooked! If you get a "good" roulette, I'm sure it's a good roulette, but I have a bad one, and Stanley makes so many bad ones that I don't think they deserve anyone's attention.

Pros
  • Center marks for 16" and 19.2" lugs make carcass work easier
Cons
  • New Competitors Arrive
