We bought a house a year ago and I needed this little tape measure to take with me when we went shopping for furniture. This is exactly what it works great for, and it's also handy to have a separate set of tools for each woman. Because we all know how long it can take for a guy to find what we're looking for when we need it, we definitely have our own basic tools, lol. It's great and a great price. I've used it a lot, from furniture to curtains. Thank you!
