Milwaukee close-reel long tapes provide best-in-class durability. They offer nylon-coated steel blades that have minimal stretch for best-in-class accuracy. Milwaukee long tapes feature the industry's first debris scraper, the grime guard, which prevents dirt, dust and debris from entering the tape and causing blockages. The reinforced 3:1 planetary gears and all-metal frame ensure durability in the toughest working conditions.
