Milwaukee Tool 48-22-1017M Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-22-1017M is a 16-foot steel-blade tape measure built for trade professionals who need reliable, repeatable measurements on the job. The blade features a magnetic hook tip that locks onto ferrous material for solo measuring, and a straighter, stiffer blade construction that delivers a 12-foot standout — keeping the blade extended without a second hand. Graduation is marked at 1/16 inch increments along a 1.18-inch-wide yellow blade. An automatic rewind and slide lock round out a tool designed for daily field use by electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and HVAC technicians.

This tape measure is suited for residential and commercial trade work where a compact, durable measuring tool is required. The closed ABS case in black and red provides impact resistance in demanding job-site environments. The built-in belt clip keeps the tape accessible on the hip throughout the workday. At 0.924 pounds, it is light enough for all-day carry without fatigue. Typical applications include layout, rough-in measurement, equipment placement, and material cutting in both new construction and retrofit situations.

Key Features

• 16-foot blade length with 1/16 inch graduation for precise field measurement

• Magnetic hook tip grips ferrous surfaces for hands-free positioning

• Automatic rewind with slide lock for controlled blade retraction
• Integrated belt clip for hands-free carry between tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose trade tape measure compatible with standard layout and measurement tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction applications.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or cracks before use, as a damaged blade can produce inaccurate readings. Allow the automatic rewind to control blade retraction — forcing the blade in manually can damage the spring mechanism. Store away from moisture to prevent blade corrosion over time.
