Milwaukee 4932459595 Pro Compact Tape Measure C5-16/25, Red, 5m/16ft

So I bought several different brands of combination Tape measures to try out. This is definitely one of my favorites, although it is a bit pricey. The blade is nice and wide well coated and has a very good standout. The hook on the end works well it is not magnetic, however that’s not an issue for me. Having both sets of measurements is ideal seeing how I work in a facility where we manufacture doors and our customers order in standard however, our machines require metric measurements so rather than having to convert everything in my head it’s nice to just look at it at a glance. I’ve used this one daily along with two other brands for a few months now and have no complaints. The wire clip on the back is one of my favorite features as it holds very well to my belt has yet to bend or flex in anyway. This one does not have an auto lock feature however, you do have the finger area on the bottom in order to slow down or to hold the tape and place while using which I really like to have. It is very bold and easy to read measurements as well, which is nice since my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Overall, I have found that with Milwaukee tools that’s its kind of hit or mess. Their power tools are great but with their hand tools, it’s kind of a crapshoot, you never know what you’re gonna get but in general, I found that I really like their tape measures and this is another one that has impressed me. It is very well constructed and unfortunately, I’ve dropped it a few times but no visible damage. No bending or twisting of the blade has occurred and I hope to continue using this one for quite a while. I just wish it was a bit cheaper lol.

I really like the Milwaukee brand of tape measures and this is the latest of several that I own. This one having both metric and imperial markings on it is useful when visualizing in both measurements. The blade is stiff and sturdy and the locking mechanism works well.

Having this at our operators disposal is essential each day. Quality product with both inches and metric.

As described. Fits my palm. Great for everyday quick use.

Sturdy, survives drops, tough spring, dual measurements, not much more to say

I ordered the 'compact' 5m tape measure but was shipped the 'wide blade' version instead. I find it to be very thick and cumbersome to hold. I've since read some reviews of the compact version on the M website and turns out the edges are prone to cracking. I like the red brand a lot for power tools but I think I'll be looking for a different tape measure.

Being from Canada 'eh ... from time to time ... I find using the 'ol metric measuring system which I grew up with - easier then messing with fractional division - sorry - just lazy that way. The tape measure is VERY well made & super easy to read to my 'ol 60+ eyes. Nice & easy to hold - print is perfect for that once glance measurement ...

The Milwaukee 4932459595 Pro Compact Tape Measure redefines the thrilling world of...measuring things. This isn't your grandfather's tape measure, though it's just as robust and likely to outlive several potted plants. It's compact enough to fit in your pocket, unless you opt for skinny jeans, and it possesses a standout feature—it can actually measure up to its own hype. The tape is resistant to kinking, which is more than can be said for many public speakers. If you're looking for a sophisticated tool that whispers rather than shouts its superiority, then this Milwaukee marvel might just be your measure of perfection.

Amazing quality item and was just what my partner was looking for!

Great having both metric and imperial

Buen metro aunque un poco caro para la calidad, ya q en pocos días se me doblo un poco por el enganche de la cinta métrica. Aún así muy recomendable, cómodo y bien engomado.
