After using the Milwaukee 16 ft. STUD measuring tape, I have found myself reaching for it over my other tape measures whenever I start a new project. This is a really nice tape measure and a big step over the original STUD tapes. The finger stop is by far my favorite option but not the only feature that makes this tape measure nice to have. Slightly heavier than other same length tapes but then the blade is wider, and the tape extends much further before snapping. The body is well reinforced with a rubber type overmold and I really like the wire belt clip better than the std. spring steel found on other tapes as the wire does not seem to tear the pants pocket as much. Because this is a wire and not a flat piece of spring steel you need to remove the tape by pulling up on it and not by pulling out and having it snap as the small screw holding the wire will not take that type of abuse and it will break off. The blade is numbered on both sides with large easy to read numbers and has an additional anti-tear coating on the first 6 inches or so for wear. There is an Architectural 1/4 scale on the back side but for most DIY’er not something that is going to be used very often. I could get the tape to extend approx. 14 feet before snapping and the tape lock worked perfectly. The hook is fairly large and easy to grab an edge or nail with on either side of the tape. There is a lanyard hole, but the tape does not come with one. This is a really good tape, much better than the original. The finger control is the best-selling point along with large easy to read numbers for us with older eyes. Caution must be taken with the pocket wire holder as it will break off if you pull out instead of pulling up to remove tape from pocket. Recommended.

I thought because it was a stud that it would have the nylon tape or whatever that material is. Unfortunately it doesn’t. Standard steel tape. And only about 11′ standout.

EXCELLENT TAPE MEASURE! I STOPPED USING MILWAUKEE TAPE MEASURES A FEW YEARS BACK AS THE “TAPE” KEPT BREAKING BUT I’VE BEEN USING THIS ONE FOR A MONTH AND SO FAR THIS IS THE BEST TAPE I’VE EVER OWNED! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

It does not have a 14’ or 17’ standout. Maybe 12’ at most. Other than that, having measurements on both sides is really convenient. The only thing I could ask more of, is if it had the auto stop.

Great tape. I bought it specifically for the reach, since I work alone. Not disappointed
