If You Clean Off Your Desk Today, Don’t Throw Away Your Lufkin Tape Measure

Never Have I Ever… Re-Gifted This Diameter Tape Measure
With only 4 days left until Christmas, I am sure many of you have been to countless holiday parties with coworkers and friends. Did any of these parties include a White Elephant gift exchange?
If you’re anything like me, these gift exchanges make me uncomfortable. No one is shopping for anyone in particular, so none of the gifts are personal. Odds are, you have received a few gifts from these parties that you would rather, well… re-gift.
Today is National Re-Gifting Day, a perfect time to re-wrap those less-than-desired gifts you’ve received this month, and give them to someone who will really appreciate them.
But the one gift you’ve received that I know you won’t re-gift is the tried-and-true diameter tape measure. It’s too good to give away!
4 Answers to Your Questions about Lufkin Diameter Tape Measures
Here are 4 recent questions about diameter tape measures.
- Are the Lufkin diameter tapes in stock?
- When do you expect more stock?
- What is Lufkin’s problem with production?
- Do you have a substitute for the Lufkin diameter tape measure?
Here are my best answers:
- Unfortunately, there are none in stock anywhere. Lufkin doesn’t even have any.
- They have continually moved back their ship date since January 2022. At this point, I won’t be happy until they tell us that they shipped us some tapes.
- I don’t know whether it is a raw material shortage, labor shortage, or otherwise. This problem has existed for 12 months now. I can’t imagine what the problem might be with Lufkin/Apex.
- Yes. Definitely. The Pi-Cobra tapes are an excellent substitute. The T217-6654 measures pipe diameters up to 38 inches, in 100ths of an inch. Your imprint can even be put on both sides of the case, at an extra charge. It is also available in metric scale (T217-6657).
