Milwaukee 48-22-0217 Wide Blade Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-22-0217 is a 16 ft wide blade tape measure built for trade professionals who need reliable, long-distance measurements without a second set of hands. The blade delivers up to 17 ft of standout reach with a straight, arc-resistant profile that keeps the tape true at extended lengths. Nylon bond blade protection runs the full length, and an additional anti-tear coating reinforces the first 6 inches of the blade where wear is highest. The housing is built around a 5-point reinforced frame for impact resistance on the job site.

This tape measure is suited for residential and commercial construction, HVAC rough-in, plumbing layout, and electrical work where accurate linear measurements are a daily requirement. The 2-sided blade printing allows reading from either face without repositioning, and the architectural scale supports layout and plan-reading tasks. The finger stop gives controlled retraction, and the wire form belt clip keeps the tool accessible on the hip. A lanyard attachment point supports tethering for elevated work environments.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or damage before use, as a bent blade will produce inaccurate readings. When working at elevation, use the lanyard attachment point with an appropriate tether to prevent dropped-tool hazards. Replace the tape measure if the blade coating shows significant wear or the housing frame is cracked.
