The Tru zero end hook moves accordingly to compensate for accurate inside and outside measurements. The blade armor is an additional material that is added to the first 3 inches of the tape for improved reinforcement to the most vulnerable part. Ideal applications include measuring and marking out of furniture, ground works, landscapers, general DIY and arts and crafts projects, flooring, pipework, door and window frame installation. The Mylar coated blade is up to 10 times more resistant to abrasion than normal lacquered blades, increasing the lifespan of the blade. The Tru-Zero, 3 rivet hook moves to compensate for accurate inside and outside measurements. With a blade reach of up to 4.25m for easier single handed use and Class II rated accuracy, providing a tolerance of (+/-) 2.3mm over a 10m distance for an improved reliable reading. The blade armor coating on the first 100mm of the tape reduces the risk of breaking at its most vulnerable point by 95%, for an improved tool life. ## Features - The 3-rivet, corrosion resistant, true-zero hook allows accurate inside and outside measurements - Mylar wrapped coating extends the blade life up to 10 times longer - Specially designed multi function hook grabs on the side, top and the bottom ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0001GRVA0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 546 in DIY & Tools (See Top 100 in DIY & Tools) 9 in Tape Measures | | Blade Length | 8 Metres | | Blade Material | Stainless steel or high carbon steel | | Blade Width | 32 Millimetres | | Brand | STANLEY | | Case Material Type | Durable Plastic | | Colour | Mutli | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (4,730) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Eu Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03253560337261 | | Included Components | 1 | | Item Dimensions L X W | 12L x 6W centimetres | | Item Type Name | FatMax® BladeArmor® Tape 8m/26ft (Width 32mm) | | Item Weight | 0.6 Pounds | | Lock Type | Lever | | Manufacturer | Stanley | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_STA033726 | | Measurement Accuracy | ±2.3mm | | Model Number | 0-33-726 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Upc | 604310232238 798256169489 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Colour:** mutli - **Item weight:** 570 Grams - **Measurement accuracy:** +- 1.5875 millimeters - **Product dimensions:** 12L x 6W centimetres ## Images ![FATMAX 8m/26' Tape Measure, Lever Lock, Blade Armour Coating, 3.3m Standout, 0-33-726 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D-B8V30yL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size Name, Style Name** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It's marked with cm both sides?** A: No it's only marked on one side **Q: is the tape metric on both sides** A: It never ceases to astonish me that so many answers to customers' questions - supposedly from people who have already bought the item in question (otherwise why on earth are you attempting to answer a question about it?) - manage to range from polar opposites (eg, yes/no) to everything in between.One reviewer said "no sign of inches", none of the other 72 reviews even mentions the two potential measuring scales.Given that the thing clearly says "8 metres / 26 feet" on it, you'd be led to think that it is a dual scale tape, which my older (& mysteriously vanished) fat Stanley metal tape was.Can anyone who has actually bought this 8m/26ft version, confirm what measuring scale(s) are on it?If you haven't boughto ne, please don't answer.Please. **Q: Do you sell theses tapes with mm on both sides of the tape??** A: You'll have to buy the appropriate model. **Q: is the tape metric on both sides** A: Hi there yes it's both metric and imperial. Just a heavy duty tape but they normally last me long time. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, sturdy, great measure. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 August 2026* Best available, solid, sturdy, easy to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does everything the listing description says it does!
