Does the all new Milwaukee Standout Tape Measure really "Stand Out?" Milwaukee Gen II Stud Test!!!

[@Deshonrados]

I've had it for a little over a month, and it's pretty damn good. I've found that I can get 14 feet of stand out if I tilt the tape measure a certain way, but even then it's not easy. Not really a fan of the belt hook though. It's actually fine, but today I tripped and it somehow flew off of my pocket. When I went to pick it up, the belt hook was deformed and now it's hard to keep clipped on my pocket. I'll fix it eventually, but other than that, the blade has been holding up quite well too. No rust or anything even though it's seen heavy rain and moisture quite a few times. I will say that the first couple weeks after I got it I had to pluck little strands off of the edges of the blade, but other than all that I'd recommend it for sure

Awesome feedback Luis, thanks for sharing 👊

[@bluemantom77]

Did you unscrew the belt hook I had a issue with my fastback knife the belt clip that deformed I took it off bent it back in shape and it's fine now

[@Rooster000]

i mainly used Milwaukee magnetic tip the old 1 and the auto lock, but my personal favorite is the Lufkin shock force from Lowe's. it's been my go to. has the big numbers so easy to see, double sided and claims a 14' stand out I'm getting 13'.

[@ToolReviewZone]

I love the Lufkin tapes just for that reason Carlos. The big numbers are definitely awesome 👊

[@Rooster000]

@@ToolReviewZone they're pricey but worth every Penny. i can't see myself using any other tape now.

[@bluemantom77]

I agree I like my 16 ft shockforce Lufkin I got 13 ft standout aswell

[@TheSoloman27]

Had Milwaukee stud and it lasted almost a full day, I do general construction and most of it is outside, so far fatmax is never let me down.

[@cmc02888]

Whole time I'm saying can it be better than my fat max doubt it

[@kylemiller8663]

Try the wide blade not the stud. Ive been doing gutters for 15yrs and the wide blade is by far the best tape I've use. Those fatmaxs seem to crap out on me every time I pull it to max by accident. The wide blade dont. Then the fatmax rust way easier and that's an issue since I sometimes get it in the old gutter that's holding water.

[@rubentapia187]

I love the old Stanley fatmax the ones from 20 yrs,15 yrs ago

[@dantheman9395]

I still love my Fat Max tapes. Congratulations on 34 + k

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks bro!

[@bluemantom77]

I still trust my Stanley' but do own a two Lufkin tapes

[@coyotescactus1448]

Thank you. Saved me the price of that tape.

[@donnysanner342]

I have a few of the Milwaukee tapes and tbh it has nothing over the fatmax. But to each their own.... great vid hoss...

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the feedback Donny!!!

[@meagaindave2049]

I loved my Stanley fat Maxes , 16ft. Kept getting stolen off the job sites. Went old school Stanley chrome and have had it for 15 years!! 🤣🤣 Fat Max, though, still my favorite. 16ft for drywall is perfect with that wide blade. God bless!😁👍

[@ToolReviewZone]

haha, so no one wanted the Stanley lol

[@meagaindave2049]

@@ToolReviewZone nope! Still works great too! 👍

I have played around with this one i like the finger stop its sweet my wife was like you buy you sleep outside lol

[@rodw]

Hey Clint, enjoyed the video, but I have a few questions. First, how many people need the standout feature? I'm a DIY guy, other than measuring a room which I usually do with my wife or Vinny my grandson. I lay the tape on the plywood or whatever I'm measuring/cutting. I wish I could justify the cost of the Lufkin, with the Macular Degeneration I have my eyes are slowly getting worse all the time. I like the look of the black tape with almost glow in the dark numbers. I don't have one of those either LMBO@me. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi Rodney! Yeah buddy, not everyone needs a standout like that, but some do. I actually like the feature, but I do like the larger numbers on the Lufkin.

[@johnrice9121]

I want to pick the Gen 2 stud up but haven't had the chance. I have the 16 magnetic tape

[@ToolReviewZone]

I've been looking for this at my local Deeps for over a week. For some reason, they had them on sale for $14. I went to the one next to my work and grabbed this for $25. I'm pretty happy with it buddy

[@johnrice9121]

@@ToolReviewZone if I get to my homedepot this weekend I'll look for it. I am glad it is smaller than the gen1

[@kylemiller8663]

The wide blade Milwaukee has a little better standout says it's the same as the stud but it seems to work better. Also another thing that makes it better than any I've used is I've dropped it from 40ft and nothing happened. I drop my tape a lot and even on concrete. Others have broke. Then the numbers don't scratch off or rust nearly as easy. Their compition the fat max will be horrible at reeling in if you pull it to max by accident and tug on it at max. The Milwaukee does fine. I've even fixed mine when the tape came out of its place on the end and was easy to fix. Others are super hard to fix. It does come In fast but thats what makes it last longer and where it dont mess up if you pull it to its max. My Only real complaint is the hook on the tape needs better grip like some other tapes have. It's not the worst but not the best. If it had a better hook it would be by far the best tape. I only use wide blades now and was a fatmax fanboy until then. They also make one of the best 100ft tapes. DeWalt would be the best if their gears didn't start slipping over time since it reels the fastest. Also when measuring standout I measure it with my front hand fully extended and can easily get 14ft. It's also less effected by wind when using the standout. I was super impressed my first one I bought. They're on the heavy side but they also are way more durable so I'd rather have that than less weight. Im rough on tapes and was going through them once every couple months until these. I have one that's about 2yrs old and still works perfectly.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I have the white Komelon from walmart in all sizes as well as the green Komelon in all sizes from walmart they work pretty well I notice the white ones have better stand out then the green ones

[@adamswindle28]

Seems like a nice tape to add to the arsenal. But I always end up back with my fatmax. One thing I really like about the fatmax is that I can write my measurements on the rubber bottom portion of it, and then when im done with them I just use my thumb and erase them.

[@travish4276]

You compared a Stud to a Wide Blade. I was hoping to see a Gen 1 Stud to a Gen 2 Stud. You seemed to intermix the terms. They are different tapes.

[@kylemiller8663]

Yeah the wide blade is a lot better in my opinion. That's all I use now. I used to be a fatmax fan boy till those came out.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video Clint

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks bro 👊

[@Zee20Ate]

Does this new stud wide blade have the exo360 coating? It didn’t look like it

[@Zee20Ate]

If not why don’t they make one? I do concrete and it destroys blades. Milwaukee says the stud with exo360 was designed for this type of contractor, but I prefer a wide blade so I typically use a fat max. But I want a wide blade with exo360.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah it has it. I forgot to put it in the vid but put it in the description. Sorry I missed that point in the vid

[@Zee20Ate]

Tool Review Zone no worries. I saw it in the description just wanted to verify if the new wide blade would have it.

[@ToolReviewZone]

@@Zee20Ate no worries buddy

[@kylemiller8663]

The wide blade I'm not sure but I do gutters and it gets wet all the time and it's rusted way less and lasted way longer than any other tape I've used.

[@jeffcoolhd]

I love me some Milwaukee 25 foot magnetic. For long time. Peace brother

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, welcome to the dark side bro🤣

[@ehsanmostafa7887]

Is there any tape measure which has a mechanism to slow it down while retracting? Because that can cause injury, especially for people who aren't pro

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I think the new stud magnetic tape measure are nice

[@bluemantom77]

I got about the same standout with my Lufkin shockforce

[@ToolReviewZone]

I don't have that one, but the Lufkin that I do have goes to 9

[@grantpeterson2987]

I've had the shockforce, the spring was way too weak, and it completely failed twice for me.

[@bluemantom77]

@@ToolReviewZone from your ig pictures you do have the shockforce not the nite eye version but the regular version I see them as over priced but they are ok if you can find them at a deal Milwaukee is much cheaper in price so is stanly
