Some gifts get admired and put away. The Square Polished Silver Measuring Pocket Tape (3 Feet) gets used. A perfectly functional 3 foot measuring tape is concealed inside a beautiful silver case with a sleek, square design, and the pull out, retractable tape carries a double-sided scale. Everyone can use a tape measure around the house, in the garage or at the shop, which is what makes this handy tool such a great giveaway: perfect for home improvement stores, tool manufacturers, independent contractors and carpenters.
It makes the perfect gift for anyone in your life. Homemakers will love it for all of their household projects, and the shiny silver finish makes it impossible to lose this essential tool. Personalize it with a monogram or a name and you can be sure it will be held on to for a long time to come.
Our Square Silver Tape Measure is great for everyone who likes to take on a do-it-yourself project. The small, compact design makes it ideal for back pockets and pocket books alike, so you can take it wherever you go and be sure you are getting just the right materials to complete your next creation. Children will love these beautiful tape measures too and will find a million uses for them: let them build their next birdhouse, or let them rearrange their bedroom and be the master designer of their own domain.
The engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, the same team that has been personalizing gifts since 1999, so a name, a monogram or a short line sits cleanly on the polished silver case. Give it to the best man and groomsmen with a note that they helped you measure up, to the handyman dad, to a new homeowner or to the friend who is always fixing something. One customer called it very good quality and said it made a dear friend very happy.
Please note: the 1-inch mark starts just after the hook, allowing you to hold both ends of the measuring tape for better control when measuring soft materials like fabric. This design also makes it easier to wrap the tape around cylindrical objects for accurate measurements.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give a gift that measures up.
