The last of the Fatmax and Craftsman USA made tape measures will be hitting the stores shortly. I have been a loyal customer of the Stanley Fatmax FMHT33865 25' magnetic tape for 15 years........Guess I will go buy a few more. I believe this was the last plant in the USA making tape measures.

That's a shame.
At least US TAPE is still manufacturing Tape measures in Pennsylvania.
