Milwaukee 48-22-6817 Compact Auto-lock Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-22-6817 is a compact auto-lock tape measure with a 16-foot nylon-bonded steel blade, designed for fast, accurate measurements on the job site. The auto-lock mechanism engages automatically to hold the blade in position without requiring the user to press a button, freeing one hand during layout work. The blade is protected by wear-resistant nylon coating, and the housing features an impact-resistant 5-point reinforced frame built to withstand daily jobsite abuse. At 0.76 pounds, the tool is light enough for all-day carry on a belt clip. Suited for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and general trade use.

This tape measure is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, rough-in layout, and finish work where a compact, durable measuring tool is needed. The stamped steel belt clip keeps the tool accessible on a tool belt or pocket. The 16-foot blade provides up to 12 feet of rigid reach, useful for single-person measurements across framing bays, ceiling heights, and rough-in dimensions without a second set of hands.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or damage before use, as a compromised blade can yield inaccurate readings. Replace the tape measure if the nylon coating is significantly worn or the auto-lock mechanism fails to engage consistently. Store away from moisture to prevent blade corrosion.
