The MILWAUKEE® 8m/26ft Wide Blade Tape Measure delivers the longest reach off the hook and the straightest reach while holding in the industry. The 18-foot reach off the hook and 15-foot straight reach while holding allow you to take long measurements alone and extend your reach on the job site. The Wide Blade Tape Measure features a finger stop for controlled blade retraction and a double-sided anti-tear coating that reinforces the first 6 inches of the blade. This tape measure is equipped with a large hook for enhanced top and bottom hook gripping on common jobsite materials, and double-sided printing for measuring in various orientations. Built to withstand the job site, this tape is equipped with a fully reinforced impact-resistant frame and a metal belt clip to reduce pocket fraying.
