Does anyone know if stanley markets a refill blade for the 25′ fat max? my case and spring seem to be in fine shape but my blade broke after a couple of years of hard use. For once, I was able to catch it before it retracted into the case and unwound the spring. I’ve never had much luck trying to salvage a tape after that happens. I looked on the Stanley site and couldn’t find any mention of refills. I guess the smart move is to buy a new one and save the old case for the 30′ drop to pavement massive case failure that will never happen as long as I keep the backup. Anyway, if any one knows where to get one, let me know.
thanks, Chris

I'm usually pretty good at Googling such things, and I can't find one. Can't see that there'd be much of a market for it since the new tape is only $20, and can't see that there'd be much of a profit margin for Stanley.
fat max refill
Thanks Dan, Refills used to be pretty common for powerlock ll's but when I come to think about it, I haven't seen them offered for quite awhile. I guess they are just another victem of our disposeable society.

A victim of cheap Chinese imports, I suspect. Stanley would have to sell the refill for $10 make any money on it, and most people aren't going to bother with a refill to save $10.
