Wide Blade Tape Measure - 1.30'' x 25'

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is another quality product from Milwaukee. This tape measure comes in a sturdy rubber frame with a great innovative feature-a strong belt clip. Some more highlights of this are that the numbers are large and easy to read and printed on both sides which is valuable in itself for work and makes measuring at angles so much easier. Also, the anti tear coating on the first six inches of the measure blade is a great innovation. I also appreciate the finger stop feature which works with just slight finger pressure. Another great Milwaukee tool. Highly recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice measuring tape. I love that it has super large number, it makes Measuring something less of a chore. I have a hard time being able to see the smaller numbers printed on the average tape. I normally end up frustrated because I have to find a clever way to get the correct number in order to be accurate. I regularly doubt my measuring skills do to the visual conflict. Measuring with this tape measure has allowed this task to again become a one man task rather than two for me. Very stable and easy to use very happy with this wide blade.

I bought a Milwaukee tape measure, which broke within about a year. I couldn't find my receipt so I didn't expect a warranty replacement. However, I contacted them at some point and forgot about it. They then contacted me, an insisted on replacing the tape measure anyway! I will continue buying Milwaukee products. What a difference it makes to have an accomodating friendly customer service approach like this. People will sometimes take advantage of these types of businesses, but I believe overall, goodness weighs in and wins out.

I bought this one in January 2024 to replace two other Milwaukee tape measures that barely lasted 9 months with light use each. I'm just a homeowner, and not a contractor, so I don't beat the crap out of my tools. My dad's tape measures lasted years and I decided to go to Milwaukee thinking this is a solid company and I was upgrading. I bought this one thinking the more expensive, the higher quality. I was wrong. A few weekends of use over a year and the hook barely grabs a 2x4s, I'm constantly fighting the tape twisting, and overall reach being very poor. While I got nearly 12 months out of this one, I wasn't using it for 8 months. So overall usage was down. Three Milwaukee tape measures are not collecting dust in my toolbox. It's time to go back to the other brand and throw these out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape measure by Milwaukee has a good weight to it. It is solid! The standout is sturdy and I’ve been able to get it out to about 13 ft before it bends. The end hook or grip is 2 sided so I don’t ever extend it and then have to try flipping it over to grip whatever I’m measuring because the grip is on both sides which is pretty handy. There is a metal clip on the side to clip it onto your tool belt or bag or just your pants. There’s a window so you can easily hold the tape measure in place without having to lock it or you can use the lock if you prefer. All together the tape extends 25.3/8 ft. It’s about 1.2 wide. The numbers are large and also measure the same on each side. Another bonus. In summary, I give this product 5 stars and I highly recommend it for any job site or toolbox. It would be a good gift as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Milwaukee just built the best tape measure in the world. Now that I have one, I can’t believe no one thought of this before. The wide blade adds so many advantages its incredible. The first is that the numbers and hash marks are HUGE, no more squinting. The comparison is startling. Second the ability to measure long distances with precision is nice. With the tape being so wide it does not move side to side and lays extremely flat. It is also allows you to free float the tape with out it bending. I had the tape stretched off the side of my deck 10ft before it actually bent. And last, the case, actual tape and coating is superior to many of the other tape I have owned over the years. It looks and feels like a precision measuring instrument. Once you get one of these wide blade tapes, you will never get another narrow tape again!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Milwaukee 25’ Wide Blade Measuring Tape is becoming the best measuring tape I’ve owned. From the time I removed it from its package, it felt tough and had a good weight (handy for staying put when left alone on a surface to measure elsewhere). The brake on the tape spool works quickly and smoothly. One of my favorite features is the finger stop so you can quickly manipulate the tape without using the mechanical brake (see photo). The tape itself is seriously impressive. It stretched over 10 feet through the air before collapsing. The metal is rigid and the numbers printed on it are easy to read at a distance. The claw at the end has teeth on both sides making it easy grab and easy to lock in place on what you are measuring. I’m looking forward to many years of dependable service. You can’t beat Milwaukee quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Milwaukee 25ft Wide Blade Tape Measure has worked out great for me and my crew while working on making repairs to my garage. I really like that I can measure long distances by myself without the tape bending or needing a second person to hold it. The large print is also a plus. I old and tired eyes still see okay but I'm not 21 anymore so I appreciate any feature that helps me in any way. Great quality product that will last my lifetime.
