Nothing fancy. Just a basic 25 ft tape measure because my 10 year old Harbor Freight one finally broke.

    Wait. You only keep one tape measure around at a time? We buy one every time we can’t find all the others.

      Somewhere in my house is some corner where 35 tape measures have accumulated, because of some weird natural flow

        Little teeny tiny reels, lost sewing measures, half a broken yardstick (I miss the big square ones) and three 50 footers cause one rolled under the toolbox in 2016 and another got left in the attic in 2020

          Oh and that one size screwdriver I always need right at that moment. Those always end up there too. Instead of right back in the drawer where I 1000000% put it last time.

          There’s some sort of tide that pulls at them

      I have one in every tool bag of mine

      I feel like everyone should have at least two
