It's compact. It's speedy. It's precise. It's about 30 feet long. And best of all, you will use it all. The. Time. What is it?

If you don't own a tape measure, tape rule, measuring tape or any other similarly-named gadget, do you even own a home? As a homeowner, you will use this device to measure everything from how much space you have in which to fit a new couch to what length deck boards you need to how much your kid has grown in the last year. When you're done taking measurements, clip the tool to your belt.
