Here are 4 recent questions about diameter tape measures.
- Are the Lufkin diameter tapes in stock?
Lufkin Pipe Diameter Tape Measure - When do you expect more stock?
- What is Lufkin’s problem with production?
- Do you have a substitute for the Lufkin diameter tape measure?
Here are my best answers:
- Unfortunately, there are none in stock anywhere. Lufkin doesn’t even have any.
- They have continually moved back their ship date since January 2022. At this point, I won’t be happy until they tell us that they shipped us some tapes.
- I don’t know whether it is a raw material shortage, labor shortage, or otherwise. This problem has existed for 12 months now. I can’t imagine what the problem might be with Lufkin/Apex.
- Yes. Definitely. The Pi-Cobra tapes are an excellent substitute. The T217-6654 measures pipe diameters up to 38 inches, in 100ths of an inch. Your imprint can even be put on both sides of the case, at an extra charge. It is also available in metric scale (T217-6657).
