Diameter tape measures are used by plumbers, oil and gas drilling companies, and tree people. When should you buy some diameter tape measures? Here are 3 clues:
The shop’s diameter tapes are too large to put in your pocket when you need to go into the field and measure some pipelines.
You don’t want to use a regular measuring tape and divide by pi.
You want to be always prepared in case you need to find the diameter of a pipeline when you are away from the shop.

I just came back from a promotional product show in Cleveland, and was surprised to see that Maglite® has come up with 5 new Promotional maglights (Maglites) for businesses. I didn’t know Maglite® Promo had any more tricks up their sleeves. (Maglites® is the correct spelling, but some of my best customers find my website by misspelling the word).
Tony Sabo is our local Maglite® representative. In this picture Tony is showing me the new ML25LT and the new ML50LX. All the new models use 2 or 3 C batteries. That should give you an idea of the size of these gems.

The 5 new torches are available for laser engraving your corporate logo on the barrel or on the head. Companies buy hundreds of promotional Maglites®…..and pass them out to their best clients. They also make great safety awards in manufacturing plants. Here is a glimpse of some of the 5 new engraved flashlights. All of them can be seen (and ordered) here…New Maglite® Flashlights.
I always enjoy explaining how to measure the diameter of a pipe. Doing the measuring actually takes less time than explaining it. It’s easy, too, because the pipe diameter tape does all the work for you. It takes about 10 seconds to do this little task. All you do is wrap the od tape (diameter tape) around the pipe or pipeline, and read off the diameter directly from the tape. The video found here in the header picture pretty much shows you how simple it is.
Lufkin Diameter Tape (pi Tape)
This is a valuable tool for people in the oil and gas drilling business, automotive repair, boat repair, tree people, arborists, tree nurserymen, landscapers, and anyone who needs to know the diameter of a round object. This allows you to find the diameter without cutting it and measuring the diameter directly.
A Maglite (or 100 Maglites) with your corporate logo comes with these benefits:

They advertise your company for many years in the future. Maglites don’t wear out. In general, we offer a limited lifetime warranty in the Western Hemisphere. The warranty is different in other parts of the world, and on different models.

If you are in the oil business, or drilling, or plumbing business, you are always measuring pipes. You also need to know the outside diameter of pipelines and pipe fittings that are part of a piping system. How do you do that without cutting the pipeline and measuring the diameter directly?
Use a caliper, and transfer the measurement to a metal rule. This works, but is only as accurate as the metal rule, and your ability to transfer the distance to the rule. Also, who wants to carry around a caliper all day?
Use an OD micrometer. But what size micrometer do you need? A 0-1 mic will only measure a pipe that is less than 1 inch in diameter. A 1-2 mic will only measure a pipe that is between 1 and 2 inches in diameter. Who want to keep a whole set of mics with them in the field?
Use a flexible measuring tape, wrap it around the pipeline, make a reading and divide by pi. This works, but it’s not that accurate because the markings are on the side of the tape that is not physically next to the pipe. Your are really measuring the diameter of the pipe plus twice the thickness of the tape.
At last, the best and easiest way to get the diameter of a pipe: Use a Lufkin Pipe diameter measuring tape. The diameter tape does all the work for you! Just wrap it around the pipe and read the diameter.

When you shop for engraved flashlights, you are looking for 3 things. Price and brightness, and durability.
Maglite Flashlights
PRICE. From the high end of this spectrum is Maglite. Maglite flashlights are USA-made, which contributes to the higher price of this favorite flashlight. If you are using these as company give-aways, then you might consider some well-made Chinese LED flashlights for much less money. The Dako lights fit the bill for this category.
Neutron Rechargeable Triple Output CREE FL106
BRIGHTNESS. The new CREE LED bulbs give much more lumens than other LED bulbs. This new technology gives off an astounding amount of brightness. All LED bulbs are very bright, compared to the old incandescent bulbs.
DURABILITY. Many of today’s engraved flashlights are made with a durable aluminum case. It’s relatively easy to find a durable flashlight to show off your corporate logo on the barrel. Maglite is the expert in durability, with the knurled aluminum case and rubber gaskets.
Are you looking for a good deal when you order custom Pipe Tally Books? Here is some simple advice from a person who has been selling tally books to oil and gas drilling companies for 25 years.
New Oilfield Camo Design Tally Book
High quality is better than cheap price. Get pipe tally books that have a sewn pad, instead of glued-in pages. You want this to be a permanent record of field data. You don’t want the pages to fall out, and get mixed up. Stone pads (instead of paper pads) are now available. They are waterproof, and won’t tear.
Custom Pipe Tally Books
Pick the best type of imprint. A full-color imprint protected by a layer of clear vinyl will hold up the best in all kinds of weather.
Find a company that has above average service. A company with a well-designed website that is easy to use, and makes ordering fun, is a company that will deliver what you want. Fly-by-night companies will have a cheap looking website.
Quantity. Buy a quantity of custom tally books sufficient to last you a while. The shelf life of a tally book is very long. You will get a better price if you order a larger quantity.
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the woods, not a tree was lit, and decorations weren’t there. If it weren’t for the snow, the branches would be bare.
Then along came an elf, with Maglites galore, and lit up the night in the forest and more.
Rejoice in the light, there is no need to fear, for the darkness is gone, and you’re safety is near. The only thing left is for you to exclaim, “Let me have my Maglite engraved, of course with my name.”
Click me to make me glitter. Have a very Merry Christmas, from Advantage-Advertising.com!
