FAQs

How accurate is the Lincoln Easy-Measure Tape Measure?

The tape provides *approximate* measurements for height and weight. It is intended for general estimation and monitoring, not for precise scientific or veterinary use where exact figures are critical.

What is the best way to measure a horse with this tape?

Wrap the tape measure around the horse's heart girth, just behind the front legs. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight, level, and perpendicular to the ground. Read the measurement corresponding to the horse's height at the withers from the scale provided on the tape.

Can this tape measure be used on foals?

Yes, the tape can be used on foals, but remember the measurements will be approximations based on their current size.

How do I clean the tape measure?

Clean the tape with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the markings or the tape itself.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or Lincoln's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Does this tape measure require batteries?

No, the Lincoln Easy-Measure Tape Measure is a manual tool and does not require batteries.

Troubleshooting

Tape measure is difficult to read

Ensure adequate lighting when taking measurements. Clean the tape with a damp cloth if markings are obscured by dirt.

Tape measure is not retracting smoothly

Gently pull the tape out fully, then allow it to retract. If it remains stiff, check for any kinks or debris caught in the mechanism and carefully remove them.

Measurements seem inconsistent

Ensure the tape is applied correctly around the horse's girth, ensuring it is snug but not overly tight, and perpendicular to the ground. Re-measure a few times to confirm consistency.
