"I'm Carolyn speaking for Expert Village. Okay in your toolbox you also would definitely end up measuring and there is all different kinds and sizes. So we have the 25 foot is probably the most common size and this especially is a neat one because it has, you can pull it out, you release it down here at the bottom of the base, you release and pull it out and then you let go of it and it automatically holds it out. Then if you just want it back in you can just push it and if you want it to stay out and you don't want it to come back you can just lock in there. And it would stay for a while so that is a really good one it runs like $10.49 12 foot. One's that are really handy and they have the little metal case and they have a lot of people like those cause they are smaller. Then we also have even smaller than that the tiny one so if you don't measure a lot that is a 10 foot one and it runs $5.99. You may not need this but there is a lot of people that does. We have this little roller that you can just it has a extend handle that you pull up and then you just walk along and it is called a roller tape and it is really nice to have if you do a lot of measuring. But it won't fit in your toolbox. "
