The extra-long length allows this tape measure to pull out up to 100 feet while providing accurate readings.
Grime Guard to Ward Against Dust and Debris
An integrated grime guard helps to clean the blade as it retracts, preventing the build-up of dust and debris.
Long, Kink-Resistant Design
This blade is nylon coated and kink-resistant, allowing it to easily retract into the housing every time it is used.
Milwaukee close reel long tapes deliver on best in class durability. They offer nylon coated steel blades that have minimal stretch for best in class accuracy. Milwaukee long tapes have industry's first debris wiper, Grime Guard, that prevents dirt, dust and debris from entering the tape, causing jams. Furthermore, reinforced 3:1 planetary gears and full metal frame guarantees durability in the toughest jobsite conditions.
Q:How long is the actual limited lifetime warranty? i bought this tape measure less than 6months ago and the part of the handle that you hold onto while winding it up has already broken off. I want to get a new one if I can.

Q:Is this tape really blank on the back side? Or does it have the tenth of a foot "engineering scale" as well as the 1/8" scale? Their 100' Open Reel Steel tape has both, 1 scale on each side, I need/use the engineering scale.

plastic internals
loved how compact and easy to use it was... until the plastic gears broke. I'm now left with a tangled mess of 100ft measuring tape.

Designed to real and very easily!
This closed reel hundred foot tape measure is really good to have when a laser measure isnot practical. It is designed with a strap that loops around the back of your hand and makes reeling it in very easy. I typically use this outdoors, but can be used anywhere

Price is ok, quality is great. Just one issue...
The tape works great, feels heavy and solid in the hand. One question, how do you hide the tape end (folding hook) into the housing so it is not sticking out catching and getting bent?

Updating this review (12/29/2019) to include some pictures of my amateur logging operation (invasive species tree clearing).
Title: Using this for amateur tree felling Summary: Been felling some pretty large (+100') trees, and wanted a way to measure them. Discussion: Looked at 4-5 offerings at the local THD, and decided on this one. Removed the hand strap, and added a 3/8" webbing to clip this to my belt. I also found that when I unwind the tape, instead of folding the handle all the way out, sometimes I leave it in the 90 degree position, which works too. Pros: Solid Milwaukee construction. Cons: The handle doesn't always align back to the storage spot, but for the most part it is okay.

Easy to reel, but reel rod is hard to put back into position for storage.
This tape is built with quality and has a heavy duty metal frame for rigidity and durability. Some tool bags come with carabiners which you can hook up to the bars holding the frame together on this. This will give you a secure hold if you're high up and don't want to risk dropping this tape. For this very reason I also like the strap on the back which is stitched into itself and won't come loose in the years to come. The grime guard feature is nice to have, as it wipes dirt off the tape as you reel it back it, preventing debris from clogging up the internals. Speaking of internals, it has 3:1 reinforced planetary gears, which makes cranking this thing really easy in comparison to the traditional designs. The blade is fully nylon coated to prevent rusting and measures in eighths as standard. Now, being an open frame design, this can be a good or bad thing when it comes to long-term use, as something very fine (such as sand) can get in easier. In addition, large chunks of just the right debris can get lodged up inside of the frame as well. However, you won't have a problem in the rain, as all water is designed to drain out with such a system. I have used it in wet conditions and it has been exceptional. Most of the tape is in a rubberized coating and has a sharp tab which folds like other tapes but does not lock and instead just hangs loose. The ONLY thing which could be better/needs work (and this is why I give it only 4 stars) is the reel rod not going back into the original position once the tape is wound up. It still locks into the hole designed for it, but there is slack of several inches. Perhaps you have to wind it back REALLY tight to get it right, but I don't want to risk breaking it.
The 100 feet closed reel long tape measure is a must have for any handy man's tool box. The tape features a reinforced metal Fram with bumper guards for extra protection in case it's dropped on a hard surface. The tape itself is a nylon coated blade for extra protection against wear and tear and the outdoor elements. My favorite feature about the tape is the grime guard blade wiper to keep dirt and grime out of the inside of the tape reel.
