You’re right about that Jake, FATMAX has gone to hell in a hand basket.
CC1 nailed it on the best replacement. The Milwaukee tapes are hard to beat at that price point.

Coworker has a real nice one from Harbor Freight. I've been meaning to get by there & buy one. They're probably all made in China now
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

Have one of those. Prolly my favorite one to use. Or it could just be it’s the easiest one to find. Either way it’s held up for a long time

Not directed at anyone for their preference, because I like Komelon brand myself for their toughness, but I guess I'm a bit old school, key word school. I can't stand tapes with actual call outs for 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and so on. We learned to read a ruler, or in most cases now, a tape, in about 3rd grade. All of the extra #s just cause clutter and slows down reading a tape if you already know what your doing.

It is nice when the significant other can call out measurements and easy

I guess I’m the oddball here I carry a Fatmax everyday. I’ve tried them all and it’s my preference.

Lots of womens and a good many men would have to count to 13 to find 13/16ths. I guess I've been in machine shops to long now though because my mind automatically says .8125 and I can't not think that way.
