Personalised Tape Measure Gift – Engraved and Built to Use

Some dads don’t ask for much — but they’re always fixing, measuring, or building something.

This tape measure is for them. It’s solid, accurate, and made to last — and we engrave your message right into the face so it says more than “I found this on sale.”

It’s available in two finishes — brushed copper or stainless steel. Both feel weighty and clean in the hand. Inside, it’s full stainless steel construction, with metric and imperial markings. Drop tested, waterproof, rustproof — not just for looks.

You can add engraving to the tape measure itself, and if you want to turn it into a proper gift, we also make a matching timber box from full stave European beech. That can be engraved on the lid and inside with a short note, a memory, or whatever you want to say.

Whether it’s for Father’s Day, a birthday, a thank you, or just because you’ve never really said it — this is something he’ll keep in the shed, the ute, or his pocket… and smile every time he pulls it out.
