Questions & Answers

What is the warranty on a tape measure?
ByOct 3, 2024

Answer This Question

Like anything made in the USA, there is an expiration date, usually located inside the housing. Take the thing apart, but be careful about the spring-loaded taper. Once you have seen the date, add 7/8th" for each expired months. Next time: metric!

      I searched all over the tape measure, including all 25' of the tape, but did not locate the country where it is made.

            Hi Brett - unfortunately, we have the fraction scale on all of our auto lock tape measures. As an alternative, we recommend the 48-22-0425

                  I'm assuming (hoping) the tape width is supposed to be 1.5" not .5" like it has in the specs..

                  It is not 0.5" as the Web site says. It is 1" wide when flattened out (tape has a natural arc to it).

                    No, it is 1" wide and not 1/2". Also, the standout is only about 8.5', not 12'.

                          Customers say the Milwaukee Auto Lock Tape Measure is a well-designed tool that features an intuitive auto-lock mechanism, making it easy to take measurements without needing to hold a button. Many appreciate the clear fractional markings and sturdy construction, which enhance usability. However, some users have reported issues with the longevity of the auto-lock feature, with several experiencing failures after a few months of use. Overall, it is considered a good value for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals, though some caution about its durability over time.

                            Auto-lock breaks
                            The numbers on the tape are nice and big with 1/8" graduations shown. I like the auto-lock feature because it doesn't require additional input to quickly take many measurements when you have gloves on. Problem is that the auto-lock breaks in less than a year with occasional usage. The spring on the lock is losing strength or the "bite" is losing its friction. I really wanted to like this tape measure but once the auto-lock breaks, there's no manual way to lock it and it just retracts immediately

                              Broke On First Use
                              Nice big numbers and feels solid, but on first the tape separated from the recoil mechanism. Opened to see the issue, the blade that holds the end of the tape snapped off. Pics attached.

                                I don’t know how many people are claiming that this tape measurement is good. The plastic stopper wears out and the tape doesn’t stop. This is my 2nd one and it is the same problem. I went with a fatmax and that is a good tape measurement.

                                          I got this for site inspections. The numbers are large so it photographs well. The tape isn't so fat that it is a pain to carry or put in pockets. I can use it while wearing gloves. Fractions of an inch are displayed as well as foot + inch increments.
