Distance Measuring

Tape measures for layout and pipe cutting. The collection includes Milwaukee 16 ft and 25 ft magnetic tape measures, a 25 ft STUD tape, a 25 ft compact tape and a 25 ft magnetic tape with a built-in rechargeable 100 lumen light.

Choose the length by typical run: 16 ft suits service work and 25 ft is the common all-around size. A magnetic hook holds on steel pipe, strut and ductwork, which helps when working alone. Check blade standout, width and the case size, since compact tapes fit a pocket more easily.
