Sometimes a full-size tape measure isn’t convenient to carry on your belt or in a pocket, but you never know when you’ll need to take a quick measurement. Milwaukee’s new 6 ft. Keychain Tape Measure can give you on-the-go convenience: it clips to almost anything, and the case measures under 2-in. long. Still, Milwaukee makes the locking tape measure tough enough for jobsite use. The tape features Nylon Blade Protection, which helps deliver up to 10 times longer life than competitor tape measures, Milwaukee reports. It is dual printed in both Imperial and metric. The frame is reinforced in five places for protection against damage from dropping. Milwaukee’s 6 ft. Keychain Tape Measure (item 48-22-5506) sells for $4.97. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and will be available later this month.
