Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation (Milwaukee, WI) announces the next generation of tape measures: new Magnetic Tape Measures with Finger Stop that are designed with features that build upon the innovation that has made their tape measures an industry favorite among professionals, improving ergonomics and maximizing functionality.

Striving for continuous innovation and improvement, this new line of premium tape measures are more compact and ergonomic, providing a better fit in the user’s hand.  An improved finger stop mechanism protects users’ fingers during retraction while maximizing stability during layout applications. A more compact magnetic hook will allow users to get into smaller spaces while taking measurements. For added functionality, the tape measures also include an improved wire form belt clip that has been optimized for bag/belt storage and reducing pocket tearing.

Just like all their other tape measures, this new line will continue to deliver longer life  because of proprietary Nylon Bond Blade Protection and a five-point reinforced frame for drop protection. Together, these features make their tape measures some of the most durable tape measures in the industry. Dual-sided printing with blueprint scale on bottom side provides even more functionality while working overhead and with blueprints.

The Premium Magnetic Tape Measures confirm the company’s unrelenting commitment to constantly improving upon solutions, and increasing jobsite productivity. All are backed by the company’s limited lifetime warranty. Premium Magnetic Tape Measure Models:
