To all my many friends
I hope everyone has a great day; I know I will!miniature pocket tape measures … only 6 feet long
I’ve seen a few little advertising tapes, and all fail to meet the standards of accuracy of major brand hardware store tapes. The end offset may be large and if you loop it back on itself the mismatch in the divisions may surprise you. (Even a good tape may surprise you if you’ve never tried that.)
.Yes, a good point albeit I have not found that to be the case with the item I have. That being said, I don’t recall utilizing much more than the first three feet as it is also handy for checking sheet sizes and borders, and fits in my pocket much better than a scale ruler. As mentioned, I’ve used this little gem to expose several peeps to decimal feet, and in doing so I have found the Deci-foot / inch increments to be accurate and aligning correctly. It would be worthless as a teaching aid if it were incorrect. I wish I could find the source of these little gems.
I do recall an occasion when I was one of four crews who were running three wire levels for a DOT project. Two of the other Chief’s were very experienced and it became a contest each day to see who could cover the most ground. I was new to this firm and definitely felt challenged by these two Chiefs. We were running three-man crews to expedite movement between turning points. One of these Chiefs was experiencing unacceptable closures in his loops. After a couple days of this, he decided to check his ‘Philly rods’ and indeed found one of them to be inaccurate in the bottom first foot. These rods were from a major supplier.
The mini-tapes are a great idea. Many years ago, one of my daughters gave me a gift of a smallish pocet watch that was also a compass. You could push up on a little tab on the glass and it would rotate over to be used as a magnifying glass. The mini-compass would come in handy on a cloudy day anywhere. The mini-magnifier was extremely handy in the courthouse.
Cheap stuff:

This is a good idea. Or a template.
