Overview
The Milwaukee 48-22-0325 is a compact, wide blade 25 foot magnetic tape measure with a black and red steel blade, built with a five point reinforced frame and nylon coating meant to resist wear and impact on the jobsite.
Milwaukee pairs a wider than usual blade with a magnetic hook so the tape can attach to EMT or steel studs without a second hand holding it. The spec also calls out extra anti-tear coating right at the hook end of the blade, which is typically where a tape wears out fastest.
- 25 ft compact wide blade tape measure
- Magnetic hook for steel and EMT
- Up to 15 ft of reach
- Five point reinforced frame
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople who want a magnetic hook for hands free work against steel studs or EMT conduit and who want a wider blade that stands out further before bending. Not the pick for someone who wants the lightest, most compact case available.
Pros and cons
- Magnetic hook for hands free attachment to steel and EMT
- Wide 1 inch blade with up to 15 ft of reach
- Extra anti-tear coating at the blade's hook end
- Five point reinforced frame
- No fraction or grip detail listed beyond the blade spec
Performance notes
The wide 1 inch blade gives up to 15 feet of reach before it bends, and the magnet on the hook lets it attach to EMT and steel studs without needing a second hand. Nylon blade protection plus an added anti-tear coating on the first 6 inches of the blade is meant to cut down on tearing at the hook end, and the case uses a five point reinforced frame for impact resistance.
