Measuring & Aligning
While masonry may not be a "game," per se, it certainly is all about the precision and accuracy of your measurements. The following is a showcase of measuring and aligning products that are just a few of the industry's heavy hitters.
U.S. Tape Company
Patchogue, N.Y.
Rhino Folding Rulers
U.S. Tape Company is announcing the addition of a new line of flexible folding rulers. Made of rugged polyamide reinforced with 30% fiberglass, Rhino Rulers are built to be tough, yet extremely flexible. These folding rulers are impact resistant and waterproof for outdoor use. The scales are deeply embossed so they won't wear away, even under the harsh conditions of masonry work. The patented free-play joint with steel spring pin and 90-degree positive stop joints provide for ease of use and accurate measuring.

The non-slip toggle lock gives the user complete control of the power tape blade, and the rubber-cushioned shell provides an improved grip and protects the tape from impact.
