It's the little things that make the job so much easier. Trying to hook a regular tape measure requires two hands unless it's too loose and then falls off. I do plumbing, walk up and down stairs and cut pipes.

It just makes life so much easier. My only negative, but not that big. This is what I use on the Stanley Fatmax 16'
