Milwaukee 48-22-1716 Compact Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-22-1716 is a compact tape measure designed for daily use on the jobsite. It features a 16-foot blade that is 1 inch wide, with a stiff blade construction that supports extended reach and standout during single-handed measurements. The blade carries both SAE and metric scales and includes an anti-tear coating on the first 6 inches to extend blade life at the most heavily used section. The impact-resistant body handles drops and rough handling common in trade environments. Smooth retraction keeps the blade moving cleanly through repeated pulls. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors will find this tool suited to confined and open-space layout work alike.

The 48-22-1716 is built for residential and commercial trade work where a compact, durable tape is needed in tight spaces and on open decks. The wire form belt clip is designed to reduce pocket tearing during carry, and the lanyard loop allows attachment to a tool belt or wrist strap. Blade standout supports one-person measurements in framing, mechanical rough-in, and finish work without a second hand to hold the end.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or cracks before use, as blade damage can affect measurement accuracy. Avoid forcing the blade retraction, which can damage the internal spring mechanism over time. Store away from moisture and sharp debris to preserve blade coating and case integrity.
