Possibly the most stylin’ tape measure we’ve ever had. The plastic case is approx 3” x 3”, and comes in assorted bright colors like red, green and yellow, but we won’t make you choose. We got it—we’re good at this type of thing. Inside is a rolled up 16-foot classic yellow metal tape with an end grab. Has a locking button on the side, a locking switch on top, a wrist strap and a belt clip. Go ahead, show up at a club or art gallery with a tape measure on your wrist. You always did want to start a trend

Working with curves? Of course you are. Or you will be someday. You need a gauge contour, and luckily for you, we just got a bunch of them. We’ll send you a pair of durable plastic JSK contour gauges, each with inch and centimeter measurements, and you’ll never again have to eye it or wing it by transferring a profile to a hunk of cardboard or piece of paper. In just under 10-inch and 5-inch sizes, these gauges are perfect for measuring pipes, circular frames, ducts and other curved objects when you’re fitting tile, carpet, molding or whatever. Also great for car body work, design and model-making of all kinds. This is the tool you didn’t know you needed until you had one. And we’ll send you (2) of them. Probably in the color of orange but don't hate us if it is another color. 

Electronics. The best thing that ever happened to calipers. Save your eyesight and measure accurate outside and inside dimensions with this digital instrument. Powered by an included button-cell battery, it measures up to 6 inches in .001 increments or 155 millimeters in .01 increments. Hardened stainless steel, 9-1/4" x 3" OA, with a locking vernier, it comes with a nice sturdy storage case and extra battery.

And so is this Laser Level Pro3, the best thing to happen to levels since the bubble, which it also has. Includes (3) two-way bubble levels, standard and metric rulers, an 8” locking measuring tape, and a red laser that projects horizontal, vertical and hairline. Runs on (3) button-cell batteries, included, along with a spare set. Don't hang pictures without it.

Sometimes, in a world of electronic measurement, you just feel like using a well tooled solid brass instrument--like this old-school vernier caliper. Has 4” x 1/16” and 100mm x 1mm scales that can be pulled apart to double as a depth gauge. Also very satisfying just to hold in your hand. Plus, it fits in your pocket!

Our each is 6-pack of 1/2” x 20-foot rolls of vinyl electrical tape in (6) colors—black, yellow, red, white, green and blue, to match your wires or just help you keep track. Tape is pressure-sensitive and flame-retardant. From GRIP® tools. UL.

This 3-5/16” dia double-sided wire gauge wheel measures from 0-36 AWG on one face and from .005" to .325" on the other. Not sure how to use this gauge? Just strip a bit of wire and slide it through the gauge slots, not the holes, until you find the smallest one it'll fit through. It’s for non-ferrous metals, which is pretty much all of what you run across anyway, unless you’re Ferrous Bueller.

Whenever we drop in on our tailor for a fitting, he's got a tape measure hanging around his neck. So much more attractive than wearing a metal on his belt, we think. More useful too, when measuring humans. Now you can be a tailor too, with our tailor's tape measure in a soft fabric-like PVC material. Measures 60" (152cm) x 3/4", marked in 1/8" increments on one side and 1mm increments on the other, with metal tabs on each end. You'll get (3) in some combination of white, light blue and yellow.

Banish plastic calipers. Replace them with these brushed stainless steel locking calipers. They measure spans up to 5" in 1/16" increments and 125mm in 1mm increments which may or may or be darkened, and these are real beauties. Terry's buying a pair to use as a paperweight and have them on his desk, just in case calipers go the way of the slide rule and micrometer. Figures he owes it to his future grandkids to introduce them to these cool tools.
