THE GOOD:

  • They make quick work out of finding the outside diameter of a pipeline.
  • The pocket size version easily fits in your pocket, and is ready when you are.
  • The hard metal case protects the tape, and preserves it for a long life.
  • Most of them come in an attractive gift box.
  • Your full color logo looks great on the side of a diameter tape measure.

THE BAD:

  • They ain’t cheap (and they ain’t too expensive either)
  • They walk away when someone else thinks they need them more than you do.
  • The production time is 2 to 3 weeks, with your logo.

THE UGLY:

  • When you need a metric diameter tape, and all you have is an inch one.
  • When the tape goes up to 38 inches in diameter, and your pipeline is bigger than that.
