Designed from the ground-up to address common user frustrations with long tapes currently available on the market, the new Milwaukee long tapes provide ultimate durability and accuracy. The industry-first, patent-pending cleaning capability features a wiper that keeps dirt, mud, and other jobsite contaminants out of the housing and internal components of the long tape – providing a much longer life for the tool. The 100' closed reel long tape is constructed of a durable metal frame housing to help protect the tool from drops.
