Product Description
Milwaukee 16 ft. Compact Tape Measure
Model Number: 48-22-1716
The Milwaukee 48-22-1716 is a 16 ft. Compact Tape Measure built for fast, accurate one-person measuring in a body small enough to live in a pocket or on a belt all day. The stiff 1 in. wide steel blade carries a fractional scale for quick, readable measurements, and it delivers 12 ft. of reach with 9 ft. of standout, so you can extend the blade unsupported across a span and take a long measurement on your own without a second set of hands or the blade folding over. That combination of a compact case and strong standout is what makes this tape a practical everyday carry for layout, framing, trim, and general measuring where a full-size tape is more than the job needs.
Milwaukee built this tape to survive the way tapes actually die on a jobsite. The first 6 in. of the blade, the section nearest the hook that takes the most wear from repeated pulls and drops, is reinforced with an anti-tear polymer coating to resist the cracking and peeling that usually kills a blade first. The body is impact-resistant with a 5-point reinforced frame to take the drops that come with real use, and the blade retracts smoothly under control. A finger stop lets you slow and stop the blade rather than letting it snap back, which protects both the blade hook and your fingers. The tru-zero hook is engineered for accurate zero-reference readings whether you are pulling or pushing a measurement, and it doubles as a pivot point so you can use the hook to scribe arcs and circles when laying out.
The carry details are designed to keep the tape on you and out of the trash. A wire form belt clip holds the tape securely while reducing the pocket tearing that a sharp stamped clip causes over time, and a lanyard loop lets you tether the tape when working at height. Compact, durable, and easy to read, the 48-22-1716 is a strong general-purpose tape for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, remodelers, and anyone who wants a pocketable 16 ft. tape that stands up to daily professional use.
