Overview

Designed for professionals and serious DIYers, the Milwaukee Tape MEAS Wide Blade MAG 16ft (model 48-22-0216M) blends accuracy, speed, and durability in a single tool. The standout wide blade improves readability at a glance, especially when work areas are tight or cluttered. A magnetic end hook lets you secure the tape to metal surfaces, freeing your hands for marking, scribing, or holding a level in place.

Readability is enhanced by high-contrast numerals and a bright blade surface, which stay legible under varying lighting conditions on busy job sites. The 16-foot length minimizes interruptions when measuring long runs, and the rugged housing protects the blade mechanism from drops and dust, ensuring dependable performance over time.
