Customer Reviews:

a very nice tape measure [Posted on 2007-03-20]
I got this because it has a metric scale. now it is my tape of preference. i always reach for it first. nothing spectacular, just a very nice feel and not too much or too little heft. doesn't slam back into the casing like a racecar. tough blade and so on. magnetic tip can be useful.

the scale layout is not as clean or easy to read as some tapes. but use it a few times and you'll be fine.

a nice surprise.

Best Tape Measure I Have ver Owned! [Posted on 2008-09-19]
I have owned many different tape measures in my life but this one takes the cake. When I first ordered it I really didn't think the magnetic tip would be that big of a help but I was wrong. It really comes in handy at times. I also love the fact that it has print on both sides of the tape and how smooth the tape glides. Plus it is typical Milwaukee Tool ruggedness at it's best.

Expected more from Milwaukee [Posted on 2008-10-06]
Very disappointed with this tape measure. The scale on the tape is inches/ feet on one side, and metric on the other. While it may seem a simple matter of moving the tape above or below the mark to measure in your preferred scale, it becomes a pain in practice; it would be far easier if both sides of the tape were in inches. The stop button on the tape is also not ergonomically placed. It is too high, causing me to juggle the tape a bit to get at it. The magnetic tip seems a good idea, but it is uncanny how many unwanted places it will attach itself to. It can be useful, but I found it annoying overall. I used a Big Johnson tape measure previously, which I managed to break, and it was miles ahead of this item both in the clarity of the scale on it, and the stop button. I would buy another Johnson tape measure but oddly, Amazon has dropped them from their availability list.
