The MILWAUKEE 8m/26ft Wide Blade Tape Measures have the longest, straightest standout and up to 17' of reach* to take long measurements. The straightest standout* makes it easier to measure long distances alone by reducing blade arc. The tape measures are wear and impact-resistant with nylon bond blade protection and an additional coating on the first 6 of the blade, reducing tape tear. The measuring tapes are constructed with a 5-point reinforced frame for impact resistance.
