5m/16ft Auto-Lock Tape Measure

Take fast, precise measurements on your own with the Milwaukee® 5m/16ft Auto-Lock Tape Measure. Built with a responsive auto-locking brake, the blade extends and locks automatically into place for seamless one-handed operation, then retracts smoothly at the press of a button. Featuring dual metric and fractional SAE scales on a stiff 1-inch wide blade, it delivers up to 9 feet of standout and 12 feet of reach for long-distance solo measuring. Engineered for demanding jobsite conditions, the first 6 inches of the blade are reinforced with an anti-tear coating to resist kinking and edge breakage, while the impact-resistant frame includes an ergonomic wire form belt clip designed to prevent pocket fraying.

Key Features:

• Convenient Auto-Lock Mechanism: Blade locks automatically upon extension for effortless, steady one-person layout and measuring.

• 9' Standout & 12' Reach: Heavy-duty 1-inch wide stiff blade stays rigid across expansive spans without collapsing.

• Dual Metric & SAE Fractional Scales: Clear, high-contrast fractional markings and metric graduations ensure fast, accurate readings on any blueprint.

• Reinforced Anti-Tear Coating: Protects the critical first 6 inches of the blade from creasing, cracking, and premature jobsite fatigue.

• Impact-Resistant Reinforced Housing: Heavy-duty body survives repeated drops onto concrete floors and rough surfaces.

• Wire Form Belt Clip: Ergonomic wire-form clip slides easily onto utility belts and pants pockets without tearing fabric.

• Tether-Ready Lanyard Loop: Built-in tether hole allows simple attachment to fall protection lanyards when working at height.
