How Does Tape-Dolly Work? Tape-Dolly is a set of wheels that attaches and detaches to the tip of any standard retractable measuring tape. Once in place, Tape-Dolly enables the tape blade to be pushed out without jamming on obstacles that would cause the tape to buckle and fold. The rolling action of the wheels carries the tape tip over the obstacles. Measurements can be taken from a stationary position. One person can stand in a room and measure in all directions or on a ladder and measure a roof slopeDoes Tape-Dolly Require a Special Measuring Tape? No. Tape-Dolly can be used with any standard retractable measuring tape. It has an integral slot and clamp assembly which holds it securely to the tape tip. Stiffer tapes perform better where as they resist buckling for longer distances. 1 1/4" tapes offer the most stiffness although Tape-Dolly has been tested to 30 ft. with a 1' width tape on a 12/12 roof slope Made of heavy gauge aluminum, hollow rubber wheels Carries over all uneven surfaces, shingle butts, curled shingles, etc...
