These items are barely used! You may see a small scratch on a pole vault cross bar, or one or two spike marks on a pit, but there is absolutely no major wear and tear. I personally inspect ALL ITEMS before they are shipped out. This is an excellent way to get big ticket items at small ticket prices!
Clearance Item of the Month
|
LJ/TJ Laser Measuring
Device |
|
|
|
Take long jump and triple jump measurements quickly and consistently with the laser measuring device. Consisting of a single 21’ (6.4 m) aluminum rail with sturdy steel bases, Leica DISTO™ A5 measuring laser and BEAMSHOT 1001 Ultra targeting laser, the system is easy to setup. Once you calibrate it using a tape measure, you’ll never use the tape again, eliminating all human error of squaring the tape and extending the foul line to the side. After aligning the targeting laser with the landing, push a button on the measuring laser and read the measurement. Measurements can be taken using metric or English units. |
Speed up two of the most time consuming events at your next home meet. Remove the headache of having one of the triple jump events end after the 4x400m relay.
I will have two of these items available after the Olympic Trials. Call today to secure yours!!!!
