Milwaukee 16ft Compact Tape Measure 48-22-1716

MAXIMUM LAYOUT RIGIDITY AND JOB SITE SURVIVABILITY

Engineering a superior layout workflow requires tools that balance tactile precision with structural integrity. The Milwaukee 48-22-1716 is built for the professional fleet, focusing on high-cycle durability and mechanical reliability. Featuring a stiff blade architecture that minimizes oscillation during long-range extensions and an impact-resistant housing, this tape is designed to maintain accuracy despite the inevitable drops and debris common in commercial construction environments. By reinforcing the first 6 inches with an anti-tear coating, Milwaukee has effectively doubled down on the most frequent point of failure in measuring tools, ensuring a higher ROI for your equipment budget.

• / 12’ Reach & 9’ Standout: Increases solo productivity by allowing for long-distance measurements without blade collapse.
• / Anti-Tear Blade Coating: Reinforces the critical lead-in section to prevent splitting and extend the service life of the blade.
• / Fractional Scale: Provides immediate, high-contrast readability for faster measurements and reduced error rates on site.
• / Integrated Finger Stop: Protects the user from rapid blade retraction while preventing internal spring fatigue.
• / Wire Form Belt Clip: Engineered to provide secure retention on work belts without causing the premature textile wear associated with stamped clips.
