Yes I bought it.
The plastic is a 6-inch ruler incremented by eighths. The tape itself is only marked every 6 inches so to get a more accurate measure, you have to line up the end of the ruler with one of the marks and then calculate from there.

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? TIA, Betsy Teamwork: Together we achieve the extraordinary. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
