December 11, 2024

Milwaukee Tool introduced its next generation of tape measures, meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of professionals. Whether facing the toughest job site conditions or requiring specialized features for precise tasks, Milwaukee’s next-generation lineup delivers on the demands of the job site with new solutions, including the STUD Tape Measure, Wide-Blade Tape Measure, Magnetic Tape Measure, Electrician’s Magnetic Tape Measure, Compact Tape Measure and Auto-Lock Tape Measure. This latest generation of tape measures is designed to excel in job site conditions, offering exceptional durability, precise measurements and advanced features to enhance performance and efficiency across various applications.

“Spending hundreds of hours alongside professionals on the job, we understand that meeting a variety of job site demands is non-negotiable for professionals,” explained Santiago Pava, group product manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Each line of our next-generation tape measures is designed with a range of features for specific application needs. Through relentless innovation and rigorous in-field research, our new tape measures deliver unmatched reliability and precision, setting new standards in the industry.”

The STUD Tape Measures: Redefining Durability on the Job Site

The STUD Tape Measure is the most durable tape in the industry, ensuring smooth retraction and strong extension through debris in the harshest job site environments. Equipped with EXO360 Rip- & Wear-Resistant Blade Technology, the tape measure offers superior blade protection and an extended lifespan. Its fully reinforced, impact-resistant body and double-sided anti-tear coating on the first 6 inches enhance its resilience. With a high-visibility blade for clear readability, the STUD Tape Measure provides 17 feet of reach and 14 feet of standout.

The Wide-Blade Tape Measures: For Longest Reach and Straightest Standout on the Job Site

The Wide-Blade Tape Measure is designed for ultimate reach and standout, offering up to 18 feet of reach and 15 feet of standout with the straightest and stiffest blade. This makes it ideal for users to take long, precise measurements independently, ultimately increasing productivity. It includes a finger-stop for quick and controlled blade retraction and a double-sided anti-tear coating that reinforces the first 6 inches of the blade. Designed to handle job site conditions, this tape measure has a fully reinforced, impact-resistant body. It also comes equipped with a large top and bottom hook to grip onto common job site materials, as well as double-sided printing for measurements in different orientations. The Wide-Blade Magnetic Tape Measures are also available, featuring a low-profile magnet for improved top-hook grab.

The Magnetic Tape Measures: Providing a Straighter, Stiffer Blade

The Magnetic Tape Measure features a straighter, stiffer blade that remains stiff up to 12 feet, reducing blade rollover and allowing for efficient measurement of common job site materials. Its balanced design provides superior control and ease of use, while the low-profile magnet enhances grabbing for both top and bottom hooks. The tape measure’s smooth retraction and double-sided anti-tear coating on the first 6 inches ensure durability in job site conditions. With 15 feet of reach and 12 feet of standout, it supports long measurements, boosting efficiency on the job site. Additionally, the Electrician’s Magnetic Tape Measures will also be available, featuring electrician-specific conduit bending, three-phase reference tables and a larger magnetic top-hook.

The Compact and Auto-Lock Tape Measures: Delivering Reliable Performance and Convenience

The Compact and Auto-Lock Tape Measures are designed for users working in finished environments, each featuring a stiff blade and fractional scale for quick and reliable measurements. Both solutions are built to withstand job site conditions, with an impact-resistant body and anti-tear coating on the first 6 inches of the blade. The Compact Tape Measure features a finger-stop, offering better control during use, while the Auto-Lock Tape Measure features automatic locking to secure the blade for quick and efficient measurements. Both the Compact and Auto-Lock Tape Measures offer 12 feet of reach and 9 feet of standout.

All Milwaukee tape measures are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. These innovative, trade-focused solutions demonstrate the company’s dedication to increasing productivity for the user.
