Originally bought the “wide” 16′ which is a very nice tape but didn’t stand up to our “abuse” lol. This seems bullet proof. Slightly heavier, but worth it to me. Very smooth and nice features. I would buy again.

Extremely well built. Probably will come close to Milwaukee’s claim’s for toughness. I Like it alot.

Whether building a table or a house there is always a need for reliable measurements. This tape measure gives you that. With increments down to 1/16 of an inch this tape measure gives you accuracy without excessive clutter. 16 foot will make most indoor measurements I would normally need and being over an inch wide makes a sturdy tape that can stand alone for 14 foot, mine started to droop some after 12 foot but still enough to get from one rafter to another quickly and safely. Large easy to read numbers plus readable from the underside as well. If you are doing small projects this maybe too large for that, but for large projects and construction, this is what you are looking for.

This Tape Measure is a excellent tool. It does what Milwaukee said it will do with no short comings. For construction work it is stamped out for the 16in. and 24in. stud layouts plus vertical measurement to use with your laser level. It is a all in one measuring tool right by your side.

I am an electrical contractor and go through a lot of tape measures. This Milwaukee seems to have a great fit in the hand, it free stands well and there is an open bottom where you can slow the retracting speed of the tape which I love! It also has drop proof protection on the outside which is a nice feature. Well worth it! I would have given it a 5 ⭐️ Except it’s made in China sadly…

Excellent tape. Big numbers (both sides of the tape) are good for geezers. Very good reach. Tape stop and release mechanisms work very well.

Definitely prefer this gen 2 style stud over the first. I feel like it’s more accurate from the hook part and doesn’t feel flimsy or loose to where a measurement could be off. The numbers are really visible and it has a scale on both sides of the tape. I really like how it has a finger stop underneath to hold a measurement and the lock itself works great. It has a coating on the actual tape which should protect it from breaking or bending. I also liked that it has a heck of a reach on the tape because that makes it more controllable to hook it easier on stuff. I was surprised the hook wasn’t magnetic but that isn’t anything I would use much anyway. It’s definitely made well and feels like it should last a long time. Belt clip works great and hooks good and definitely going to get another one.

Too bulky for me and no magnetic tip on the end if tape.Other Stud Tape measures have magnetic tip.

I figured I couldn’t go wrong with a Milwaukee, and my boyfriend really wanted a new tape measure. Is the 35 ft length necessary? Well, probably not. However, will my boyfriend need a new tape measure in the next 20 years (unless he loses it, ha!)?? Also… probably not. It’s extremely durable, and I would recommend it to anyone! It makes measuring by yourself simple, and it’s extremely accurate.

Sturdy and well built.Bump guard all around. Wire bail type belt clip attached. There is a lanyard hole on the rear if you need to tether it in use.The tape is +1″ wide x 16′ that I prefer over the 25′ units because of size and weight. The tip is secured by 4 rivets and some reinforcing plastic for the first 6″.The scale is printed on both sides in large font; there is an architectural scale on the back between the 1′-2′ range (1/4 an 1/8 if you happen to have scaled print). I generally never need to extend the tape more than 8′ unsupported and this works just fine. You need to add 3 3/8″ for inside measurements. It is molded into the housing, but I mark in the case with a yellow paint pen just to remind me.Compare them in the store. The cost/length will be higher on the shorter units. They will be smaller and lighter and have fewer problems rewinding.

Nice quality product. Able to manage long reach measurements.

This is a nice tape measure with some handy features. The finger stop is the main reason of purchasing over other brands. The casing feels and fits naturally in my hand. The large double sided numbers are easy to read and the tape seems to be high quality. I accidentally left it outside in the rain one day and even after dumping water out I have not experienced any issues. My only complaint is that the recoil could be stronger. I would buy it again.
