Digital Measuring Tape

This is one of those “I wonder why nobody has invented this before” items.

A regular measuring tape with LCD screen! What else in the world can be more simple? This device has a large readable LCD screen and the capability to memorize your measurements with the push of a button. It provides measurement in feet and inches or metrical units. Your measurements will be extremely accurate as the display can show up to 1/16 of an inch, just like an ordinary tape measure. The other good feature is that it can add several measurements together, which would be useful when measuring something that is longer than the whole tape. It turns on when you pull out the tape and turns off when the tape is fully retracted back inside.
