Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this tape measure and a Gulick tape measure?
This is a standard flexible tape measure — tension is applied by hand during use. A Gulick tape measure adds a spring-weighted end that applies a fixed, calibrated tension automatically, ensuring consistent force across measurements. Gulick tapes are used when reproducibility between clinicians or measurement sessions is critical (e.g., edema monitoring, limb girth tracking). This tape is ideal for general clinical, therapy, fitness, and everyday measuring needs where Gulick-level standardization is not required.

Why is fiberglass better than plastic for a measuring tape?
Fiberglass tapes resist stretching over time, which means the calibration stays accurate with repeated use. Plastic tapes can stretch or deform with use, introducing measurement error. For clinical and therapy applications where accuracy matters, fiberglass is the preferred tape material.

How does the lock-open function work?
Extend the tape to your desired length and engage the lock to hold it in place. This allows you to take measurements without needing to hold the tape taut with both hands — useful when measuring alone or when you need a free hand to mark or record the measurement.

Is this tape measure safe for direct skin contact?
Yes. The tape is phthalate-free, making it safe for repeated direct skin contact in clinical, therapy, and patient-facing environments including pediatric settings.
