Description

Experience a refined take on everyday utility with the Vintage Edition Micro Tape Measure, where precision craftsmanship meets timeless materials. Inspired by the original Ti-Tape micro-sized titanium design, this special edition retains the exact compact form while introducing a choice of beautifully finished tellurium copper or solid brass, each bringing a distinct character and warmth to the tool.

Slightly larger than a U.S. quarter, the Vintage Edition is engineered for effortless everyday carry. Its remarkably compact profile allows it to disappear on a keychain or rest unobtrusively in a pocket, yet the solid metal housing gives it a reassuring weight and durability that far surpasses typical plastic tape measures. The result is a measuring tool that feels as enduring as it looks.

Designed with both function and longevity in mind, the Vintage Edition includes a removable keychain clip, allowing it to attach seamlessly to your keys, bag, or gear so it’s always within reach when needed. Inside, a user-replaceable 3-foot measuring tape ensures a bent or damaged tape can be refreshed over time, extending its lifespan far beyond that of conventional portable tape measures.

Throughout the day, its usefulness reveals itself in subtle ways. Measuring a piece of furniture while browsing a store, checking dimensions on a project, or verifying a quick fit during design work becomes effortless when a tape measure is always within reach. Whether used by professionals such as carpenters, engineers, and designers, or simply by those who appreciate well-made tools, it transforms a common task into a smoother experience.

The warm metallic finish and vintage-inspired aesthetic bring an understated elegance to an otherwise utilitarian object. It’s a small tool, thoughtfully designed — built not only to measure with precision, but to age beautifully as part of your everyday carry.

Vintage Edition Features:

  • Manufactured from tellurium copper or brass
  • Ultra compact size
  • Replaceable measuring tape
  • Removable stainless steel keychain attachment clip
  • 3 foot measuring length
  • High contrast black on white markings, both imperial and metric units

While highly corrosion resistant, both copper and brass are considered to have a “living finish,” designed to evolve over time. When exposed to the elements, the surface will naturally oxidize, developing a patina that adds depth and character. This transformation can range from subtle tonal shifts to more pronounced aging, depending on use and environment.

For those who appreciate a more vintage aesthetic, simply use the tool as intended and allow it to develop a unique, personal finish over time. The material will gradually deepen in tone, creating a look that feels both timeless and individual.

If a brighter, more polished appearance is preferred, the surface can be easily restored at any time. A small amount of polish — such as Wright’s Copper Cream — applied with a soft cloth using a light circular motion will effectively remove oxidation. No pressure is required; the material responds easily, revealing a clean, bright finish with minimal effort.

A finish that adapts to your preference, whether you choose to let it age gracefully or maintain its original brilliance.

    TEC Accessories offers a 30 day no-questions-asked return policy on all of our products. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, for any reason, contact us to arrange a return/refund. In addition, all products carry a 90 day warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please contact us if you have any problem with your purchase that requires attention, and we will promptly make any necessary corrections.

    Shipping Times

    PLEASE NOTE: Due to the current logistics delays, shipping times may take longer than expected. This is especially true for International shipments, where delivery times can take weeks longer than usual. This is beyond our control, and we ask that you please be patient with expected deliveries until shipping companies get back to a more "normal" schedule.

    We make every effort to process orders within one working day, however there may be slight delays depending upon the number of orders we receive, holiday periods and available staffing resources. Typically we will process all orders within no more than 2 working days.

    Shipping times (from the time the package is dropped off at the carrier) will vary depending upon the carrier, method of shipment and destination. For example USPS Domestic First Class Mail should take between 2-3 days, but we have seen instances of 5-7 days. Domestic Priority Mail should take 1-2 days, but can take anywhere from 1-4 days. Domestic Express Mail should take one day, but that is only if your processed order is delivered to the post office before the cutoff time (typically 12:00 noon). Also keep in mind that weather and travel distance can have an effect on delivery times.

    International shipments have even more variables that must be considered. A package sent by USPS First Class International can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending upon the country. International shipments have the potential of being delayed by Customs, as well as having additional taxes or fees levied on a package. These are out of our control, and we advise that you become familiar with your specific country's shipping regulations to understand the impact to your shipment.
