This is a good presentation by Cody. I do timber cruising. We measure tree diameters all the time, so there are Spencer tapes with the diameter measurements on the back. You may want this. (Always measure tree diameters 4.5' above the ground, for consistency.)
We also measure tree heights all the time. We hook the end of the measuring tape in the tree bark, then walk out 66 feet, or for tall trees, 100 feet. The tape reels out while we walk out. Then we use a clinometer to measure the tree height.
Tip: take some black electrical tape and wrap it around the yellow measuring tape at 66 feet. Just a layer or two. As you are walking out, let the tape slide lightly through your fingers. As foot # 66 slides out, you will feel it. So, if you wanted that measurement you will know it and stop there.
These tapes do come in 50' and 75' as Cody said. But I always get the 100' filler. I go overboard to be prepared for things that come up. And besides, I do use the hundred foot distance regularly, which some guys might not.
Anyway this is the best tape out there. I have had mine since the 1980s.
Now my sister wants to learn these things, so I will show her this and some of Cody's other videos as teaching aids.
Excellent video. I added two horse shoe nails to my logger's tape, one pointing each way. When I am tallying timber, I use the one side, and when I am measuring logs, I use the other side. The nails I used are small, Capewell RN 4.5, Product Number 10005. They leave about a 3/4 inch long point, which works fine for eastern hardwoods.
As a professional timber cruiser, there is an easier way to replace the tape.
Remove the masking tape from the logging tape refill and place the refill in your front pant pocket with the tail of the tape sticking out. Secure the tail onto the reel stud like you demonstrated. Then, while applying slight pressure with the palm of your hand over the refill in your pocket, let go of the reel and allow it to wind in the refill from your pocket. The speed of the winding can be controlled by the pressure placed on the reel with your palm. Doing this prevents the tape from bird nesting.
Tight hipster pants are ideal for this method because it requires no pressure from your hand.
The joke about the gravy infested wife beaters was hilarious... I laughed out load so hard! Thanks for that!!
Thanks for the tips. Picked up a new fifty foot Spencer last year, they are now made by the U.S tape company, Pennsburg, PA. Looks like they went East Coast.
Just sitting back in the Midwest enjoying the back and forth like Forrest Gump at a ping-pong match!
i'm high and dry right in the middle
love the channel👍.. as an east coast framer for 30 yrs, it's always fun to read the comments from West coast folks.
We do shape the bills on our caps in NC. I noticed you have those small little chain saws on your work bench and I have to admit that they are cute. Have a great day from Greensboro NC.
Gwayne L good morning from Shelby!
@@gtb81. morning from concord!
evening from Rockingham!
That brim is the only thing straight in the west coast lol
sadly true
True,sad but true.
Cody! We’ve been dying for you to get the hat...... My wife has been freaking out waiting to see it in a video! Hahaha
Thanks man. Hope you got a food laugh from it. We sure did!
Have a good one brother!
I was given one of those a few months ago with a broken tape I've taped it back together and it wasn't snapping back like it used to. Didn't know you could get replacement tapes and tighten the spring. Awesome thanks
A beautiful example of function & form working together. Great video.
Good video ! I repair Spencer’s for local loggers here in NW Oregon .
Just for information because at times I get tapes that are missing screws . The
Replacements from Spencer are $$$$$ ! The sizes are 3-56x1/4” for attaching the tape to the spool, and 3-56x5/16” for the aluminum Spacers. . I bought a box of each from McMaster Carr . These screws should also be available at any good hardware store .
One other thing I have learned about the nail , if you give the push portion a half twist in the vice , the nail will pull out easier and you are less likely to snap the end of the tape off.
J
thank you for the tip
If you repair these, can you help me? I replaced a tape and it will wind......bust astronomically slow. It is wound tight. Any advice?
Here is the Midwest the flat brim is for the hipsters with groomed beards and tight pants. I think you should wear a Stihl hat.
shopnwoods ha!
Next he'll have a manbun toupee
@@TheRealChappy I imagine he'll loose subscribers of he does.
Thanks Cody. You can also get 12" repair ends that are installed with tiny rivets when they break at the end, or 18" nylon repair ends that never break. The nylon ends are black & unmarked so they wouldn't work on the tiny east coast trees
From the east coast ! 😂🤣 u funny !
We use the same tapes for placing gates at ski races I love them and use it for daily things as well as skiing
So glad you like the hat Cody! Ed and I were so excited to send it and this made our day!!
You guys are awesome. Thanks for the content today. Much appreciated. :)
Ok, I always wondered about how those things worked. Never thought about the star pattern tightening either. Thanks!
Good humor, common sense, thanks for all the great video work.
Perfect timing. Watched this last week and yesterday my tape broke. Now watching as a refresher before I do repairs.
FWIW, I've always used car wax on our tapes and cord reels. Thanks for this video, Cody. I've had my Spencer for many years and have been pretty hard on it with of all our N PA brush (guess this is considered East Coast, haha), but haven't had to repair it yet. Good info to have when the time comes.
"Not so much that it comes back and murders you" hahahahaha Had me dying laughing. Those tapes come back like a sling shot most of the time.
Im from the east coast and i love the comments u make in the videos keep it up dont let the haters keep u down
I agree with the silicon spray. I do the same with my Spencer! Also was doing some height measurements one time and getting right back to the 30 foot mark and the nail came out, before I could grab the tape fumbling with my other equipment, it 'nailed' me right in the thigh! So yes, it will bite you if not careful:) Great video, thanks for showing how to do repairs at home, it costs to much to send them back unless it's really jacked up badly which is hard to do to a Spencer...:) 🇬🇷☮️
Here's a couple of tips for you when you're using your tape. First when you are changing the reel and don't want the tape to get all tangled up put it in your shirt pocket. Next when you are sawing logs and have your lengths picked out wrap the measurements with electrical tape so you can feel when you're at your measurement.
Flat bill = “bro”
Wranglerstar + flat Bill = Wranglerbro
MrFlip001 actually flat bill = Bruh
Haha! Potato/potatoe
Soon he’s going to get a fake tan and be on MTV lol
These tapes are also very popular with people that paint parking lots and roads. Here on the east coast though, we use the 100' variety.
Thx for the tips. I've put au horseshoes nail but the spike bent after 2 or 3 time use, I've to replace it
Late to the party but put a twist on the shank of the nail. It will stop the tip from bending when you pull nail from log.
I haven't seen that style of tape measure in this life though I remember it. Now I am going to look for one.
Great video, thanks Cody!
Thanks for the instructional video. A great tape with a smart way to attach my tape to the log!
Im lookin too get one and is the whats the best tape blade tip (?) stuck between the bailey nail or the quick release.
Thanks, good user friendly info!
GREAT TIPS ON HOW ITS DONE THANK YOU.
I need this! Glad you showed this!
Hey Cody, I end up having to refill my tape probably every two months due to how hard we are on them at work. I’ve found that the easiest way for me to do the refill is start by getting the spring loaded and then just breaking the top of the first tab of masking tape before putting the tape on the screw. Then I’ll put a sharpie or a pen through the center of the new reel and hold it with both hands then let the tension in the housing reel the tape in without having to completely unroll the new reel. Kind of tough to explain but hope it helps
Another great educational video...
Michael from Canada
Wranglerstar, here's a couple of tips from a logger on how to get your tape fill on without it exploding into a tangled mess.
First, remove one of the two pieces of tape to give yourself a little tail to hook onto your loggers tape screw while still containing it.
Second, once your tape fill is attached, loosen the rim screws, hold the tape in your off hand with your index finger on the spool to keep it from spinning, wind some tension onto the spring and tighten one of the rim screws to hold it in place.
Third, break the second piece of tape and put the entire tape fill in your shirt pocket (preferably a hickory shirt if you want to dress the part) this will contain the filler.
Lastly, place your hand over your heart, holding the tape filler in your pocket gently, remove your finger from the spool and let the tape reel from your shirt pocket directly onto your loggers tape, wind more tension onto the spring when necessary.
Hope this is helpfull
The Martin Fly Company used to make a fly fishing reel that functioned with a similar spring-loaded mechanism.
As an east coaster. IM LOVING THE BANTER. Please keep it up
I want to get some silicone spray. Any recommendations?
Awesome Cody. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪
great tip presented here.
Ty. Be great if you did a vid on changing ends. Thanks again.
oh man these east coast jokes never stopping i love it
Cody,
Let's keep in Touch.
I have a great idea that works so well for installing a new tape refill.
I will try to get a picture of it soon.
Hi sport friends , I have same problem like you in video...where I can order new replace tape20m..!?
Thank you in advance
so i still dont know were i fit on the east cost west cost thing i live the winter in pa and spend summer in the west fighting fire
What about graphite powder like we use on locks?
The "Hugga Bugga" LOL
Hi.
Im a big fan of your channel.
Im from canada and going in miami for the holidays and would like to buy it there.
I did some research online and was not able to found a store that would carry them.
Do you have any recommendations?
How is the piano playing coming along?
Interesting device. In my part of western Europese we have only carpenters 5 or 8 meter tapes and landscapers tapes we use in arborism. Cool video.
Happy Friday Cody
you could probably use some of the Wurth spray oils, there's this one specific for chains, it's a dry oil solution, so it doesnt attract dirt
Hello Wranglerstar have a great weekend
How long is your horseshoe nail?
In addition to what I wrote before about the Spencer tape, I want to put it out there that these tapes come in:
•Metric
•Feet and inches
•Feet and tenths
•On the back of the tape may be the diameter of the tree. (In forestry and arboriculture I want this.)
You won't find a better tape.
And don't forget the horseshoe nail. I got a few extras.
Are the new tapes teflon coated? Most are or have a coating now.
Love the content. The comments are hilarious. I'm an Arizona boy we don't have a coast unless you count Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco). Of course that could change if an earthquake takes out Cali.
Looking for the hugga-bugga setting on my torque wrench. ;)
You had me at "Gravy incrusted wife beater" 😂
Nice video
Yeahhhboyyy!!! I like a Stanley PowerLock 👍🏽👌🏽💯
Are you going to post the live stream from yesterday? I missed the beginning and I got the impression that I missed the best part. I love listening to these live streams while I drive. P.S. you should start a podcast!
You can find it on Bitchute
When I first saw the picture it looked like the old Martin automatic retrieval fly fishing reels. Seems to work the same way.
Those silicone sprays are a better, cheaper version of Rain-X for windshields. Clean it, spray it on, and wipe down. It's awesome.
For the record I support everything you said in your most recent response video.
The world is not ready for truth,
A man of integrity is somehow a bad thing nowadays. I'm in my early 30s and I can attest that there is no morality and responsibility when it comes to relationships. For both men and women.
Hi Wranglerstar. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. The bears love ya brother.
The minute you put on that hat i started to LMAO
Can you make a video on how to properly organize a tool belt?
Looks just like my automatic fly reels ... except for the tape.Think I'll try that.
Got my lube shuttle today, i don't know why i was under the impression that it came with the quick release nozzle. But it doesn't. What brand did you have on yours? Also they screwed up and sent me the wrong type of grease. Just gave them a call and they are sending a new case out right away and i get to keep the first case. Scores! They have some other interesting products on their site also, i was checking out their fuel tank coatings.
No good deed goes unpunished,
Why did you not put loctite on the screw holding the end of the tape?
It would be awesome to see you try some tape messures from Hutafors! They are the best in scandinavia👍
But Sturla, here in America we measure in inches not centimeters, so a European tape is not going to work
Almost all my hats except for my Columbia hats are like that and I’m east coast. But I live in the middle of the woods and not near a large city
You are not a boomer... So obvious. ;)
Good morning to you Wranglder if you put the tape in your shirt pocket it goes on the reel eeasy
What model tape would you recommend
Spencer or Lufkin
You can always try "dry lube" instead of the "wet" kind. I use it on my mountain bike chain 👍
Did you report back on the silicone oil?
he said he liked it
When your from the gulf coast and are just enjoying watching the fight.
"There gravy incrusted wife beaters..." HAHAHAHAHAHA
easiest way to put a new blade in is to keep it in your shirt pocket, attach it to the tape that is already under tension and it reels it right in, from your shirt pocket helping to prevent the slinky effect on the new blade..
Cody: (holds tape with bare hands) Be sure to wear gloves when using one of these.
Subscribers: uh huh
Was that some kind of modified double bladed chainsaw in the background beginning at about 12:06 ? Or am I just seeing things, and being stupid? It would be cool to have one though!! HA HA! Who would make one though? :) And what would it be good for?
PS. Had a lumberjack rube friend from Oregon who didn't know how to light a fart, we showed him! Needless to say, on his first, and probably last attempt, he went up like an oil well Red Adair would have been proud to put out! Haven't seen him since! I used to cut big Spruce/Hemlock in Alaska! Loved it!! Great work!!
Do they come in metric? (;
Great video! 👍🏻🇺🇸 how is your Daniel Defense treating you? The hat is awesome 😂😂😂(I’m an east coast guy)
What about graphite powder for a lubricant on the tape, wranglerstar? That stuff doesn't attract dirt at all and works great! I know cops swear by it to lubricate handcuffs...
I really did not care for the flat bill ball caps when they became popular a few years back. Mine always have a nice curve.
I like it :-) God Bless to all...
Wow, how many more times is he going to give us the finger? Lmao 🤣
West coast guys must have tender hands.
Hmm, mine was made in Pennsburg, PA. on the east coast.
Mine came with the horseshoe nail attached. Don't remember where I got it. Might have been Madson's
Dont forgetto tell them about losseing the frasme screws and then tighten them
What about graphite lubrication
Well, guess who's NOT getting a sample of my new release of Wifebeater flavored gravy!!!
I want one 😍
