Milwaukee 48-22-1816 Auto-lock Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-22-1816 is a 16-foot auto-locking tape measure built for repeated, accurate use on the jobsite. The blade locks into position automatically and retracts smoothly without manual release. An anti-tear coating reinforces the first 6 inches of the blade, extending its service life in rough conditions. The impact-resistant body holds up to drops and daily wear. At 1 inch wide, the blade delivers 9 inches of standout and 12 inches of reach, letting a single tech take long measurements without a second set of hands. The fractional scale is printed for fast, legible reads on framing, plumbing rough-in, and general layout work.

The 48-22-1816 is suited for residential and light commercial construction, mechanical trades, and facilities maintenance. It is a practical carry for framers, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who need a reliable measuring tool on their person throughout the workday. The wire form belt clip is designed to reduce pocket tearing, and the lanyard loop allows the tape to be tethered when working at height.
