Milwaukee 48-22-1426 26ft/8m STUD™ Tape Measure

The industry's most durable tape. The Milwaukee 48-22-1426 STUD™ is engineered for the professional who treats their tools like they work for a living. Featuring the revolutionary EXO360™ Blade Technology, this tape is designed to resist rips, tears, and abrasion better than any other blade on the market. Whether you are measuring solo across long spans or dropping it from a ladder onto concrete, the STUD™ is built to survive.

Engineered for High-Production Framing:

• EXO360™ Blade Technology: A high-density, fully wrapped coating protects the blade from the debris, grit, and sharp edges that destroy standard tapes. This blade is built to last up to 10X longer.
• 14-Foot Straight Standout: Measure further without a partner. The reinforced blade geometry allows for up to 14 feet of rigid reach, making overhead and long-span measurements effortless.
• Dual-Scale Versatility: Features 26 feet of SAE (Imperial) and 8 meters of Metric markings. Perfect for the Canadian jobsite where switching between systems is a daily requirement.
• Impact-Resistant Body: The fully reinforced, 5-point frame is built to withstand drops and heavy impacts, ensuring the internal mechanism stays calibrated and smooth.
• Finger Stop Control: Provides a safe, controlled blade retraction while protecting your fingers during high-speed layout tasks.
• Architectural Scale: Includes a specialized scale on the back of the blade for easy reading of blueprints and drawings.
