In Ray's post about different types of measuring devices he listed a tape measure that had holes every 6 inches and an attached 6 inch marked ruler. If I recall it was about $29.00. Has any one had any experience with this tape measure? Sounds like it would be a good economical. Starter tape measure. I would like to get a talking tape measure at some point but at this point I am having a hard time justifying the cost.

I saw in the list of offerings Ray I believe sent me that there were two of these available and one at $75 and one at $55. One I think was called the Rotomatic and the other I can't recall at the minute. I assume the Rotomatic is the one I would want. I mean $20 isn't much if its the preferred one to purchase. tnx Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:s.howell%40verizon.net> On Jan 9, 2007, at 8:28 AM, John Schwery wrote: > Scott, the rotomatic is plained a bit on one side so the ruler will > sit flat on a surface.
