Product Description
Milwaukee 300 ft. Open Reel Long Tape
Model Number: 48-22-5230
The Milwaukee 48-22-5230 is a 300 ft. Open Reel Long Tape — a professional-grade measuring tape for large-scale layout, survey, and measurement tasks in construction, land development, utility installation, and civil work where the measurement spans exceed the range of standard pocket tapes and require the extended length of a long tape reel for accurate single-setup measurement. Open reel long tapes use a lightweight fiberglass or steel tape on an open-frame reel that allows the tape to dry quickly after exposure to moisture and be inspected visually for damage along its full length without unspooling — the open reel design is standard in professional land survey, large-area layout, and utility work where the tape is used frequently in outdoor conditions that expose it to wet grass, standing water, and muddy terrain. Milwaukee engineers the 300 ft. long tape to deliver accuracy and durability standards appropriate for professional measurement work where incorrect long-distance measurements create costly layout errors in foundation placement, grading, utility routing, and infrastructure installation.
The 300 ft. measuring capacity spans the length range needed for full-building layout, large parking area layout, road and utility alignment marking, and land measurement tasks in the field where a 100 ft. or 200 ft. tape requires multiple setups with corresponding accumulated measurement error. Milwaukee's long tape features bold, easy-to-read graduation markings that maintain legibility under outdoor measurement conditions including bright sunlight glare, shadow, and the slightly-angled reading positions common when measuring across uneven terrain without a perfectly level tape deployment. The open reel winding mechanism provides smooth tape retrieval at the end of each measurement without the jamming and resistance that worn-bearing or corroded winding mechanisms produce in long tapes that are used in wet outdoor environments regularly.
Available in multiple lengths — see Milwaukee's complete long tape lineup for 100 ft., 200 ft., and 300 ft. options in both open reel and closed reel configurations for different outdoor measuring applications.
