Bought them for the 3 inspectors 2 years ago. Been helpful in the field on finals, just show the contractor what it says.

At least until the regs change... $25.00 non-member price, such a deal!

Got one 3-4 years ago. Stopped all sorts of BS when you can measure and show that it's right or wrong to the contractor. And sure we paid the $25 price back then.

Make sure you get the 2010 ADAAG version.....

Clarification

I was actually curious if these could be operated by a building inspector, or if they would need a class getting them up to speed on the proper use of such.

Will the ICC have an "Accessibility Tape User Certification" available soon?

I have used one for several years. Does not have all the info needed on it, but does come in handy as a tape.

They should add an infrared thermometer for checking hot water from the tap. Then ICC could have 2 certs/1 tool.

PLus a smart level!

Me I use a 60" 3/4" square Staff with marks at 15" 17" 19" 24" 27" 29" 30" 33" 34" 36" 42" and 48" with a couple of letters likw WCH or WC CL UC TC just to jog my brain as to what im measuring

it all fits and is nearly intimidating

 

[Mr. Inspector]

I use a folding masons ruler which I added some marks on it. It makes it easy to carry around to check reach range. Don't forget the tape they sell is for ADA and not IBC/ANSI and there are some differences.
