Milwaukee 1-3/16" x 30' Compact Tape Measure
The Milwaukee 48-22-0430 is a 30 ft. tape measure with a 1-3/16 in. wide blade, wide enough to stand out roughly 15 ft. unsupported before it folds - long enough for one person to measure most rooms and layouts without a helper.
A 5-point reinforced frame and nylon blade protection are built to survive job site drops, and the first 6 in. of blade carries an anti-tear coating where the hook takes the most abuse. It reads to plus or minus 1/16 in., which is accurate enough for framing and layout but not for cabinet-grade finish work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far does the blade stand out on its own?
About 15 ft. before it buckles - enough to measure most rooms without a second person holding the far end.
Is this accurate enough for cabinetry?
It's rated to ±1/16 in., fine for framing and general layout, but a fabricator's tape or measuring system for finish cabinetry will read tighter.
Is the case magnetic?
No magnet is listed for this model - the compact case relies on the belt clip, not a magnetic hook.
