Know what you mean. My "pacifier" is a saddle square that stays in an
apron pocket. If it's not there, I go looking for it until it is. I lost
the old one on the last cabinet job, and bought two this time.

Mine is an old, beat up, half broken 16' tape measure. It has a small
body that I like. I haven't seen any like it until I went to the BORG
last week. They actually had them but packaged with a larger 25'. I
might breakdown and buy it and give the 25' away.
