Be sure your measuring tape says GULICK II, not simply Gulick.

Our GULICK II is a vast improvement over the old Gulick (designed in the 1940’s). Each GULICK II spring tensioning device goes to a special test station where it is hand-calibrated. And because we use a precision stainless steel compression spring, ONLY our GULICK II calibration lasts a lifetime.
ONLY our GULICK II is Easy to Read. ONLY our GULICK II uses a silver disc between two highly visible fluorescent beads. Others merely use a hard to see, red-colored nick in a thin wire.
Because of our GULICK II’s highly visible bead disc-indicator system, your fitness assessment readings are the most accurate and repeatable!
For the best quality and accuracy accept no substitute.
