Crescent Lufkin 1/4" x 6' Executive® Diameter Yellow Clad A19 Blade Pocket Tape Measure - W606PD

This thing is perfect in every way! We recently did a few small remodel projects in our home. It seemed like every time I went to the store to shop I needed a measuring tape! I started carrying one and was using it quite frequently, but it was so bulky. I looked around on Amazon and found this. It is a little bit pricey, but completely worth it. I tried another product, but it was so small that the tape didn’t really work and it was more like a novelty item. That is not the case with this tape at all! It is extremely effective and the tape does not get stuck when trying to pull it out or retract it. It is strong and high quality. I’ve had several people ask to use it when I’ve broken it out in the store. :) Great item to have. Highly recommend!

Great quality and construction. Doesn’t try to be any more or less than it needs to be.

Bought this for a recent survey I did and am so glad I bought this. Made data collection a breeze, no calculations necessary. A very fast easy way to see if you have a tree or sapling at DBH - or whatever you would measure the diameter of a tree for. I am glad that this diameter tape is now part of my delineation kit it won’t work for large trees, but where you’re debating sapling vs tree, it’s very handy. If you know you’re going to be dealing with large trees in a regular basis and need to measure them, there is forestry tape for that. This item is for smaller diameter trees.

Well, many years ago, I started my career working for a company that manufactured large (6" diameter), high voltage (400kv, 2000 amp) power cables that were buried many feet underground, or laid in cable trays in tunnels.An essential part of our quality control tools was a diameter tape. We used it many times a day. Instead of graduations in inches (or millimeters), these diameter tape measures are graduated in units of circumference of circular (i.e., round) objects. Place the tape around the object to be measured, and what you read on the tape is the diameter of that object.I've been tying to find one of these for a number of years. I do some volunteer work at a local State Park, and more often than you you might expect come across an old rusted galvanized pipe (or even some of the newer black ABS pipe that someone's put a pitch fork through). We all look at it trying to guess whether it's a 1.5" or 2" diameter pipe. Some of my colleagues try to use regular tapes to measure the diameter, - good luck on that one. I hand them my diameter tape, they wrap around the pipe, et voila, they read the diameter directly off the tape. I've also used it for vent and duct pipes - I don't know about you, but I find it tough to measure a 14" or 16" duct pipe from the outside.This Lufkin tape is not as sturdy as the tapes I used several times a day many years ago, but for occasional use, it works well. I've "calibrated" it against pipes with known diameters, and its fine - as it should be with a device with a (Greek letter) pi * D multiplier.So OK for occasional use, at a reasonable price.

This has been a very useful little tape measure. I like to carry it in the little fifth pocket of my jeans. It’s compact, but can still measure a useful distance for many daily tasks.

This is a nice compact size to complement a full size tape measure. I keep the full size tape in my toolbox in the garage. This compact unit is in our kitchen junk drawer. It’s very handy.
