Milwaukee 5M Gen IV Magnetic Tape Measure

The Milwaukee 4932498769 is the Gen IV Magnetic Tape Measure (5m/16ft). This fourth-generation model is specifically engineered for professional tradespeople who require a more rigid blade and the utility of a high-strength magnetic hook for solo work on steel frames or pipes.

Key Features of Milwaukee 5M Gen IV Magnetic Tape Measure

• Superior 4.5m Standout: Features a straighter, stiffer 30mm wide blade that allows you to measure distances in the air up to 4.5 meters without the tape collapsing.
• Strong Magnetic Hook: The low-profile magnet at the start of the tape provides maximum holding power on flat surfaces and round pipes.
• Finger-Stop Control: A patented cutout at the base allows for safe, controlled retraction, protecting your fingers from high-speed blade return.
• Double-Sided Anti-Tear Coating: The first 15 cm of the blade—the most common fail point—is reinforced with a heavy-duty coating to prevent snapping and fraying.
• Architectural Scale: Includes a built-in scale for reading blueprints and scaled drawings directly, saving time on-site.
• Dual-Sided Printing: Vertical and horizontal scales on both sides of the blade ensure readability from any angle (overhead, floor-level, or vertical).
