Standout is undoubtedly very important to save time when working by yourself. One IMPORTANT thing to know before you buy this quality measuring tape is that due to its heavy end clip and blade, it has a comparatively poor standout when measuring on its side (like when you're measuring siding, etc), and you'll measure sideways a large percentage of the time. The regular Stanley Fat Max tapes have a much longer standout on their side. I've also noticed that the sides of the blades seem to dent very easily, impairing smoothness. It makes me wonder about their durability. I love the new Bostitch tool line, but am going to stay with the Stanley Fat Max tapes. Bostitch 33-001 Bi-Material Tape with Blade Armour, 1-1/4-Inch by 25-Feet
Best tape ever, with a 13 foot stand out, and the large head it makes it easy to measure things on your own. Don't waste your time and money buying other tapes, even for a homeowner this tape would last you a lifetime.

For those of you looking for a great durable tape measure then look no futher....(Made it through a Afghanistan depoyment) Pretty much exactly like the stanley fat max (same blade dimessions, same everything). The extra large hook really comes in handy when working alone.... I like it and so will you..... - Measuring - 25 - Hand Tools - Lay Out Tools'
