Are you in the gas and oil business? Or any business that needs to keep continual records of data in the field. The best and safest way to make regular notations of gauge readings and pipe usage, is with a tally book. Oilfield tally books are small, weather-proof pocket sized notebooks that are protected by vinyl covers.
For the last 36 years, since 1979, Maglite Flashlights have been designed and manufactured in the USA by Anthony Maglica in Ontario, California. What will he come up with for the next 36 years? To get into the creative mind of Anthony, lets see what he has done in the past, and see what he has changed.
What Has Stayed the Same with Mag-Lites. The frame of each flashlight has always bee anodized 6061 aluminum, and designed and manufactured in the USA. The colors for most of the models have been limited to black, silver, blue, and red.
What Has Changed with Mag-Lites. A few of the popular models are available in other colors, like green, orange, purple. The original ones used xenon or krypton incandescent bulbs. The new ones use LED bulbs. Accessories have been added, such as mounting brackets, holsters, rechargeable models, and LED conversion kits. The original ones just had an on/off switch. Now there are various modes in some models. Strobe, SOS, momentary, low power, and eco power. A set of 3 modes can be selected for General Use, Outdoor Use, Law Enforcement, and Tactical. Engraved flashlights. The factory has also added the ability to have your maglite engraved with your logo, available through a world-wide system of promotional product distributors.
Could the next Maglite improvement be:
Brighter bulbs
More types of flashing signals
Longer lasting batteries
Lighter weight, overall
Custom printing over the entire surface–a wrap imprint like the US flag version
Introducing a new model imported from China, to bring the cost down
Do you need to find the diameter of a pipe or pipeline, and you don’t want to have to divide by pi? Of course, you can do it that way–Measure the circumference and divide by pi. But a more accurate way is to use a pipe diameter tape measure.
Other ways: Use a micrometer that is big enough to do the job. Or use a caliper, then transfer the size to a rule, then divide by pi.
Diameter tapes make the job easy, by doing all the work for you on an oil, gas, or water pipe, or anything round, like a tree or telephone pole.
USA-Made. MagLites have been designed and manufactured in the United States since the beginning. Unlike a lot of companies that shift their US production to overseas, MagLite has continued to keep the jobs in America. This has caused the retail pricing to be higher than similar flashlights made overseas. Despite the higher prices, this has not prevented the loyal customers, world-wide, from buying MagLites on a regular basis. MagLite has made a name for itself, and the name has universal recognition.
American Success Story. Maglite is also the story of a man who started small and made a highly successful company. Anthony Maglica showed us that hard work and dedication pays off.
Durability and Versatility. There is no question that Maglite flashlights are durable because of their aluminum barrel construction and water-tight rubber seals. The knurled barrel finish makes them easy to grip. They are versatile because of the many types of beam intensity and functions that are built into some of them. They all have the twisting focusing ability, which is a trademark of this great American company.
Do you need to keep records every hour, about an ongoing process?
Do you make frequent notations about a project that involves numbers or measurements?
Do you want your measurements or notations to become permanent?
If you answered YES to any of those questions, then Pipe Tally Books are for you! They provide a neat way to make tabular notes of measurements and digital activity, such as drilling an oil well, or surveying.
Tally Books can be customized with your logo or photograph, and be used to promote your company to your customers.
What is the outside diameter of this part of the gas pipeline?
How big of a heater hose do I need to replace this one?
What is the diameter of this heating duct?
What is the diameter of this pole?
What is the diameter of this tree at this height from the ground?
If you can put yourself into the position of asking one of those questions, then you would benefit from Diameter Tape Measures. They are easy to use. They really do the work FOR you. See this short video on how these amazing tapes find the diameter of a round object….without having to cut into it to actually measure the diameter yourself.
People who don’t know they need a pipe diameter tape measure yet:
Boat repair professionals
Car repair people
Carpenters
I have given Lufkin diameter tapes to these 3 groups of people, and told them how to use it. It only take a minute to show them. They are in awe of the tape, and wonder why they never heard of them. My boat repair man broke his, and wanted to buy a replacement tape. That’s how handy these pocket tapes are. They even can be personalized with your corporate logo in full color.
Did you ever wonder how they got the name Mag-Lite®? Was it from the word “magnet”,
“magnificent”, “magnesium”, “magnanimous”? No. Nothing as detailed as that. When it
was invented in 1979, it was named after the owner of the company, Anthony Maglica. He and his company have been on Facebook recently. The topic is his commitment on keeping USA’s flashlight manufacturing jobs in the USA. Yes, that keeps the famous flashlight’s price high, but people are willing to pay for quality. Maglites® are as American as apple pie. People are proud to own one of these magnificent “torches”, especially the new LED models, no matter what the price.
POOR FAMILY: Mr. Maglica was born in NYC during the Great Depression, but was raised in Croatia by his mother. When he was old enough to escape from the Communist control of Croatia, he came back to America and started manufacturing precision parts for aerospace and the military. He used a lathe that he bought, and was making payments on. In 1974, he incorporated as Mag Instrument, Inc. in California, and went on to invent the Maglite® flashlight in 1979. Through his hard work and perseverance, he has brought much success to a unique flashlight, his workers, and to his country.
ONWARD AND UPWARD: The Mini Maglite® AA flashlight was introduced in 1984 and became a welcome personal size flashlight. A smaller AAA-Cell version of the Mini Maglite® flashlight, handy for medical applications, was introduced in 1987; and the Solitaire® single AAA-Cell flashlight, designed for key chains and purses, entered the product line in 1988. In 2006, the Maglite® LED flashlight was introduced. In 2011, they started the Mini Maglite Pro & Pro+ sales.
AWARDS: Besides being awarded millions of dollars in patent infringement cases, Mag Instrument, Inc. has been awarded many recognition awards. In 1987, Money Magazine named the Mini Maglite® flashlight one of the 99 Things That Americans Make Best. In 2004, Mens Journal named The Maglite® flashlight in the “List of All Time Best Tools, Toys, and Gear”. In 2005, Mobile PC Magazine named the Maglite® flashlight as one of the 100 greatest gadgets of all time. In 2010, Maglite XL100 made the “Holiday Hot List” (Dec 2010) – Sunset Magazine. In 2011, Mini Mag-Lite LED made the “Best Car-winterizing tools” list (01/11/11) – Woman’s Day Magazine.
LASER SCIENCE: The laser was invented in the early 1950’s. Then computerized laser engraving machines evolved in the 70’s and 80’s. The first items to be decorated with laser engraving were wooden plaques. These refined machines are used today to put your logo on engraved Maglites. Laser has enhanced the popularity of promotional Maglights. Today, it is easy to use your vector art file, and quickly engrave your logo on 50 anodized aluminum Maglites. Your imprint shows as the color of the aluminum showing through the places where the anodized color was removed by the laser. Engraved flashlights with your logo are here to stay, because they combine a useful object with a little bit of well-placed advertising.
THE FUTURE: The next step is already here…The ability to put your full-color logo on the curved metal barrel of the Maglite®. This process was started about 2011. The imprint is virtually un-scratchable. The imprint is permanently adhered to the barrel. The color logo on a Maglite® is available in a very limited market.
