STANLEY FATMAX Pro Box Beam Level, 900mm/36

I already have a 1200mm fatmax model which I acquired a few years back and to be fair it is absolutely superb! I purchased the 2000mm model on the back of this experience. The item arrived in bubble rap and when opened seemed OK. However, onto testing.... Vertical vials were all OK and plumb but the horizontal via was out. Tested it on my granite worktop and the machine face was completely flat on all surfaces but when you rotate the level around, the horizontal level was not reading the same on the exact same surface - which indicates that the vial has not been set true in the factory. Very disappointing to say the least.... I wanted to test it to see if it was in tolerance of 0.5mm per metre. What then became blatantly apparent is that he curvature of the vial tube is way too severe and you could increase the end points of the level by 2/3 mm before it would register any bubble deflection. This is not great if you want accurate readings. To be fair its a nice looking level and the vials are easy to read etc. but just left down by poor fabrication and a vial tube design which has too much curve in the tube for a 2m level. Suffice to say - it was returned as not fit for purpose and I ended up buying a Stabila instead which I am very pleased with even though it was delivered in a black polythene bag with no other wrap protection by Amazon! Thankfully it survived the journey with accuracy intact.

Arrived earlier that estimated and item I as described

Handy piece of kit . Using mine to lay patio.

This level is the right weight to use and not to big for the job

The Stanley brand is synonymous with quality and this level is certainly that. The level is very well made and looks and feels very sturdy. The ends of the level are encased in rubber to protect it against bumps and drops. The handle is also rubberised for extra grip. The vials are large and easy to read. Recommended.

I’m a bit of a Stanley fat max fan so I decided I get this instead of a cheap one. What a great tool, the handle in the middle is perfect.

good robust level. not much else to say it does what it says. quick delivery great product

By far the best level I’ve ever owned.
