I saw this digital measuring tape at someone’s house then I tried to digg about it. I found this product at ThinkGeek site for $24.99. Personally, I don’t think this is more useful compared to the old-fashioned tape (battery required), but this modern digital device have a relatively big LED display - good for my dad who is farsighted.

The Digital Measuring Tape features a large easy to read display that is capable of memorizing your measurements with the push of a button. It can give measurements in either feet and inches or metric units and will even display fractions of an inch (as small as 1/16th) just like a standard tape measure.

There is also a setting for adding the case length for taking inside measurements. The Digital Measuring Tape turns on and off automatically, when the tape is extended (on) or fully retracted back into the case (off).
