Hiya Folks,
So I'm in line at the local Borg (the blue one) picking up some tubing when
I notice a kid playing with ata a Black and Decker display. I figured it
was a sander or something and didn't really pay much attention. Low and
behold, the kid moves and I realize it's a Power Tape Measure. No ****,
press the button and it pushes the tape out for you. Press another, and it
retracts. And for only $24.95 you too can save yourself around 2 calories
of effort avoiding the use of a "manual" tape measure..... I couldn't
believe it to be honest. It's no wonder this country is so obese!!!!
Cheers,

I think it[s excellent marketing of a less-than-useless product...
Wives probably flocked to the borgs to buy one for hubby last week...

It still has a dumb end and a smart end.
