Milwaukee Tool 48-22-1018M 16 Ft Magnetic Tape Measure

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-22-1018M is a 16-foot electrician-grade magnetic tape measure built for trade professionals who need reliable measurements on the job. The steel blade features 1/16-inch graduations and a standout length of 12 feet, allowing for extended single-handed reach without blade collapse. A magnetic hook tip grips ferrous surfaces for accurate solo measurements. The automatic rewind mechanism and slide lock keep the blade controlled and the closed ABS case provides durable protection in demanding work environments. At 0.93 pounds, this tape measure is lightweight enough for all-day carry on a tool belt.

This tape measure is designed for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general construction trades who require precise measurements in tight or open spaces. The 12-foot standout is particularly useful when measuring overhead runs, conduit layouts, or duct pathways without a second person holding the other end. The magnetic hook tip is especially practical for latching onto electrical boxes, conduit, and steel framing members during layout work.

Installation Notes

No installation required. Inspect the hook tip and blade for wear or damage before use, as a bent or loose hook can introduce measurement error. Store the tape in its closed case to protect the blade coating and graduation markings from job-site abrasion. Replace the tape measure if the blade develops kinks, cracks, or illegible markings that could affect measurement accuracy.
