Product Description
Milwaukee 100 ft. Open Reel Long Tape
Model Number: 48-22-5201
The Milwaukee 48-22-5201 is a 100 ft. Open Reel Long Tape — a professional-grade measuring tape for large-area layout, land measurement, and survey-style measurement tasks where standard pocket tapes are too short to cover the required measurement span in a single setup. The 100 ft. open reel format provides the working length for full room and building layout, large parking area and site layout, foundation layout, utility routing alignment, and the measurement tasks in construction and civil work where the distance between reference points exceeds the range of standard tapes. The open reel design allows the tape to dry quickly after moisture exposure during outdoor field use, keeps the tape visible for damage inspection along its full length without unspooling, and provides faster tape deployment and retrieval in field layout conditions compared to closed-case tape reel designs.
Milwaukee delivers on best-in-class accuracy and visibility through bold, easy-to-read graduation markings that maintain legibility outdoors across the range of lighting and viewing angle conditions encountered in field layout work — bright sunlight glare, shadow, and the slightly off-angle reading positions common when measuring across uneven terrain without a stable platform all reduce graduation readability on tapes with faint or narrow markings. The winding mechanism provides smooth, consistent tape retrieval after each measurement without the jamming and resistance that develops in corroded or worn winding mechanisms in tapes used regularly in wet outdoor environments. The 100 ft. capacity spans the length range needed for most single-building layout and site measurement tasks without the weight and bulk of longer 200 ft. and 300 ft. tapes that are excessive for the majority of construction layout applications.
Also available in 200 ft. and 300 ft. capacities for larger site measurement requirements — see Milwaukee's complete long tape lineup for all available lengths and reel configurations.
