Milwaukee recently announced the release of the redesigned STUD™ Tape Measures, the new Wide Blade Tape Measures, and the new Compact Tape Measures.
“In 2012, Milwaukee brought innovation to tape measures with key user-specific features…With each new tape measure, we’ve worked with users to understand their frustrations and maintained our focus on incorporating game-changing innovations. This year marks our biggest year yet—as we introduce a range of new tape measures with leading feature sets, enhanced durability, and best-in-class standout.”
Caitlyn Kelleher, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool
STUD™
The new design of the Milwaukee STUD™ Tape Measures allows for a more compact, comfortable, and ergonomic fit for the user. An optimized spring controls the blade retraction speed, minimizing whip. The STUD™ comes with a Finger Stop to control blade retraction and 2-sided blade printing for increased readability. The tape comes with a fully reinforced frame that can survive an 80 foot drop*.
EXO360™ Technology
Protecting the blade from rips and tears; the tape comes equipped with EXO360™ Blade Technology. The technology creates a high-density nylon coating that wraps 360 degrees around the blade, assuring a blade that is abrasion-resistant and can endure continuous use. With cutting edge technology, the tape has the longest-lasting blade on the market.
