Combining sticky tape with measuring tape at first sight may appear a bit pointless but thinking about it as well as looking differently cool, it could also come in quite handy.

If you’ve ever tried measuring the dimensions of an odd shaped room with a conventional tape measure (on your own) you’ll know how awkward it can be. This sticky stuff could be just the low tech simple answer, okay it’s not as cool as a laser tape measure but it’s a load cheaper and doesn’t need batteries :).
