Milwaukee 48-22-1226 8m/26ft x 1-3/8″ Wide Blade Tape Measure

The Milwaukee 48-22-1226 Wide Blade Tape Measure is built for professionals who need long reach, strong standout, and clear metric and SAE readability on demanding jobsites. Featuring an 8-meter / 26-foot blade with a 1-3/8″ width, this tape measure provides up to 18 feet of reach and 15 feet of standout, allowing users to take long measurements independently without blade collapse. This makes it ideal for framing, layout, and material takeoff tasks across construction and renovation work.

The blade is reinforced with a double-sided anti-tear coating that strengthens the first 6 inches, helping reduce wear at the most common failure point. Double-sided printing with both metric and SAE scales allows accurate measuring from multiple orientations, while the architectural scale supports layout and planning applications. A large, reinforced hook improves both top and bottom grab on common jobsite materials, supporting consistent measurement accuracy.

Designed for jobsite durability, the fully reinforced impact-resistant housing helps protect against drops and rough handling. A finger stop allows quick, controlled blade retraction to improve safety, while the wire form belt clip reduces pocket tearing during daily carry. A built-in lanyard loop adds flexibility for working at height or securing the tape during use.
