Tape measure accessory
I have a tape measure, Don't know where I got it. .
It's maybe 10' long, a bit over 2" x 2", has a small level in the front and a yellow scribing tool at the other end. Fine. It also has a piece of clear lucite 2" x 2" on the side with the Home Depot logo on it, and it's hinged at the top, but when the hinged part is closed, it has an empty space about 2 mm. thick between the lucite ann the black tape measure. What is this for? |

What is this for? Sometimes when you measure something, it is just a tiny bit too short or a tiny bit too long. That empty space is to store the little bits of long measurements for those times when the measurement comes up a little bit short. |

You're going to go to hell for that one. ;) Any fool knows that that's what those little zippered Cordura bags that HD sells are for. They hold more excess measurements and you're not as likely to lose them! |

BTW Home Depot doesn't list anything like this now and google images has nothing like it, home depot or not. |
