Handy Pipe Sizer Tool
 |
 |
The patented stainless steel tool is designed to work on copper, steel, and pvc pipe. It measures 7 different sizes, from 1/2 to 2 1/2 in.
The tool works similar to feeler gauges that are used for checking valve tolerances, point gaps and other critical measurements. It consists of 7 riveted-together perfect half circles with pointed ends. The pipe size is marked on each one.
“This tool is especially handy when you’re working down in a hole where you can’t see the pipe very well,” says Bakke. “When you pull the tool back out it will show you the pipe size. We came up with the idea because we’ve been involved in the landscape irrigation industry for a long time and spend a lot of time installing pipes. By inscribing the tool and then flipping it over to make a complete circle, the tool also can be used as a drilling template for making circles.”
Sells for $12.95 plus S&H.
