Milwaukee 48-22-5301 Open Reel Fiberglass Tape 100 Feet

Product Description

The Milwaukee 48-22-5301 is a 100-foot open reel fiberglass long tape designed for layout, measurement, and site work across trades. The fiberglass blade resists stretching and corrosion, making it well suited for outdoor and high-moisture environments. A built-in blade wiper clears debris and moisture on retraction, extending tape life and maintaining read accuracy. Reinforced planetary metal gears with a 3:1 ratio provide smooth, reliable rewinding without stripping. This tape is a standard tool for electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors who need accurate long-distance measurements on the job.

The 48-22-5301 is built for both residential and commercial job sites. It handles layout tasks such as trenching runs, conduit routing, ductwork planning, and rough-in measurements. The open reel design allows fast deployment and retrieval across large areas. The fiberglass construction is appropriate for use around electrical hazards where a conductive steel tape would present a risk. Professionals working in wet or muddy conditions benefit from the blade wiper, which reduces contamination buildup during normal use.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or damage before use, as a kinked fiberglass tape can produce inaccurate readings or break under tension. Avoid pulling the tape past its marked length, and use the rewind handle steadily to prevent blade bunching inside the reel housing.
