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?
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.
Derby? 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!
Okay. Good.
No, I think those are for people with sub-par tape measures.
BTW Home Depot doesn't list anything like this now and google images has nothing like it, home depot or not.
Home HARDWARE in Canada had something similar
