Measuring with a traditional tape measure means reading tiny markings, holding the end in place, and writing things down before you forget. This eliminates all three problems.

This Smart Digital Tape Measure with LCD Display shows measurements directly on a large, clear backlit LCD screen that reads to 0.1mm accuracy — eliminating squinting at millimetre markings and transcription errors. The locking blade holds at the measured length for hands-free reading, and the data hold function freezes the reading on the display so you can record it without rushing. The ruler blade extends to the standard measurement length needed for home DIY, furniture planning, tailoring and construction tasks. The ergonomic anti-slip grip is comfortable for one-handed use, and the unit converts between mm, cm and inches at the press of a button. Requires one CR2032 battery (included).
