    Now if only that LED flashlight were powered by a crank I could go home and go to bed for... maybe... the next 10 years.

    I've seen these around for about the last decade. But seriously, anyone know where I can get a left-handed version.

    Husher, don't be disappointed when you use the calculator to translate your measurement from centimeters to inches.

    @stevewoz: Why would you waste your time calculating when you can just look at the measuring tape. It has both centimeters and inches if you didn't notice.

    The serious lack of cowbell is disturbing.

    Major design flaw: Where is the mini pencil/pen compartment?

    @pimas23: You can't see it because it's in the back, next to the turkey baster, and easy bake oven.

    If this can take input from the measuring tape directly into the calculator It'd be kinda cool.

    They need to make a more advanced version now. Get rid of the sticky notes and replace everything with a 5" touch screen. Then your calculator can write it's results directly to memory and you don't have to worry about running out of paper! The main problem I foresee, though, is that all the construction workers will be playing mini-solitaire all day long on hacked tape measures ...

    You won't have to worry about that. The battery will run out in 15min before that happens.

    @ripfire: Nah, you can just get the extended battery, which involves removing about 10' of tape.


    Wow, that sounds like a Microsoft solution. Get rid of useful functionality to put in relatively useless bells and whistles that have little to do with the primary function!

    @LordGriffin: But if you remove 20' of tape, raise the price of the tape measure, and call it the Tape Measure Pro you have an Apple product.
