Review on Milwaukee Electromagnetic Tape Measure 48-22-5125 by Kevin Gunnmann

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not convinced of the durability

Tape measure in use for 3 years, rarely used in industrial construction for evaluation purposes. Probably about the same number of uses on it as on a wooden frame for 2 weeks. Also noticed that the recoil spring is on the weaker side. The strap broke about 3 feet, I've never seen that before. I don't think my use should have resulted in that much damage, not after 3 years. I've seen much older and much cheaper roulettes that still work.

Pros
  • Double magnets prevent rolling away when measuring steel bolts, metric and threaded rods
Cons
  • old
