Is the two-pack worth it over buying one tape?

At $24.97 at Home Depot as of November 8, 2026, you get two tapes for about $12.50 each. That is a good price for a magnetic 25 ft tape, and a spare is handy on a jobsite.

How far does the blade stand out?

Milwaukee rates the standout at 12 ft. That lets you measure across a room or along a wall without a second person holding the end.

Does it have metric markings?

No. This is a standard SAE tape, so it reads in feet and inches only.

What holds the magnetic tip on?

A low-profile magnet in the hook grips steel studs, framing, conduit and other common jobsite metals.

It has a lanyard loop and a wire-form belt clip. The clip fits a tool belt or pouch.

Tape measures usually dip during tool promotions and holiday sales. Check the price history on this page before buying.

Our take on the Milwaukee Magnetic Tape Measure

This is a two-pack of Milwaukee's 25 ft magnetic tape measure, a heavy-duty steel retractable aimed at jobsite use. The blade stands out to 12 ft unsupported, and the low-profile magnetic tip holds onto steel studs, framing and conduit so you can measure alone. It also has a lanyard loop and wire-form belt clip for hanging on a pouch. At $24.97 at Home Depot as of November 8, 2026, the pair works out to about $12.50 per tape, a low price for a magnetic 25-footer.
