Tool manufacturer Irwin has come up with a nifty tape measure: The Strait-Line. We're not sure why they lost the "gh" in "Strait," but we're glad they lost the pencil; the Strait-Line has its own integrated marking tip, so you can leave a cut line with the other hand free, and you no longer have to leave that #2 tucked behind your ear.

It's a great idea but there are no metric markings that I can see
and how long does that little strip of graphite last?
looks like it would b hard to get a good measurement
I wonder how long the little graphite lasts when your tossing this thing into tool bags and stuff... I am sure this thing gets broken... and then you gotta get out the pencil.
