Capture Massive Measurements Solo with the Stanley 40-Foot FATMAX Classic Tape Measure

The Stanley 33-740T 40 ft. FATMAX® Classic Tape Measure is the industrial standard for professionals who require extreme length without sacrificing control or durability. Engineered specifically for solo operation, this heavy-duty tape provides an impressive 14 feet of reach, allowing you to capture long-distance measurements across foundations, large industrial rooms, or structural framing entirely on your own. The high-impact ABS case is reinforced with a non-slip rubber cushion grip, ensuring the tool survives the inevitable drops and rigors of a demanding construction site while remaining comfortable in your hand during all-day layout tasks.

Precision is integrated into every inch of this FATMAX design. The 1-1/4 inch wide steel blade features high-contrast, large-font numbers for instant readability in low-light conditions, along with standard 16-inch and 19.2-inch stud center markings to streamline your framing and joist layout. To combat the most common point of failure, the first few inches of the blade are protected by BladeArmor® coating, significantly reducing the risk of kinking or tearing at the hook. With a versatile multi-catch hook that grabs from the top or bottom and a reliable top-forward blade lock, the 33-740T provides the rugged accuracy that contractors, framers, and tradespeople have trusted for decades.

Key Features

  • 14 ft. Reach: Specialized rigid blade design allows for extensive solo measurements without the tape collapsing over long distances.
  • BladeArmor® Coating: Reinforced thermoplastic coating at the hook end significantly extends blade life and prevents kinking.
  • High-Impact ABS Case: Rugged housing with a non-slip rubber overmold is built to withstand the toughest jobsite drops and impacts.
  • Framing Markings: High-visibility yellow blade features standard 16-inch and 19.2-inch stud center markers to simplify wall and floor layout.
  • Multi-Catch Hook: Oversized hook design grabs reliably on the top, bottom, or side for versatile measuring on various materials.
  • Top-Forward Blade Lock: Ergonomically positioned lock mechanism makes securing and releasing the blade fast, easy, and secure.
  • Full Blade Finish: Durable coating over the entire steel blade resists abrasion and wear from repetitive industrial use.

Pro-Tip: To keep your 40-foot tape performing like new, avoid "snap-back" when retracting. Allowing the hook to slam into the case at full speed can eventually damage the internal spring and ruin the accuracy of the Tru-Zero hook. Slow the blade down with your thumb as it nears the case to ensure long-term precision.
