hey there. I've used this tape measure and it's wonderful. On the actual tape every six intches there is a measurement marker and for every foot two dots. actually when it's two feet, three feet, ... it has the braile number and then a dot on the other end so that you can pull it out and feel the feet and know that it's a foot. If you want 4 feet 3 intches you put the end of the plastic piece on the 4 foot marker and count out three intches. The intches are marked with two dots in a vertickle row well a half an intch is one, if I remember that correctly.

My friend bought one and says that it has a piece of plastic sticking out from the end of the device. The plastic is about 6 inches long. Anyone know anything about this thing?
