Q: What do these stands do?
Tape measure stands like these hold a tape steady at a stand-off distance and free a hand to press the tape edge flat to the surface, eliminating the parallax error that comes from reading an angled tape.
Tape measure not included.
These stands are almost as good as an assistant when taking measurements with long stand-offs.
Providing a wide, stable base, they prevent the tape case from tipping over when you set it down to mark or record measurements. They also free a hand so you can press the tape edge flat to the surface to eliminate parallax error.
The 1 3/8" tall version is intended for smaller tapes (e.g., 10' tapes) and accommodates cases up to 1" thick. The 1 1/2" tall stand fits larger tape measures (e.g., 25' and 30' tapes) and accommodates cases up to 1 3/4" thick.
Made in Canada from bright orange ABS plastic, they are easy to find in a toolbox or drawer. Patented.

Not from one stand alone: the shorter 1 3/8" stand suits smaller 10' tapes up to 1" thick, while the taller 1 1/2" stand suits larger 25' to 30' tapes up to 1 3/4" thick, and both are included in the set.
No, the set includes only the two stands; you'll use your own 10' or 25' to 30' tape measure with them.
Bright orange ABS plastic, a durable material that also makes the stands simple to spot on a busy workbench.
