one handed tape measure ?

sirboz

Hi

I want to buy a 'one-handed' tape measure !, apparently you can get one where the 'measure' extends out by itself so you can keep one hand free

got an amzon voucher to use but cant see anything on there,

if that makes sense, any ideas ?

Is this any help (not from Amazon though, I'm afraid)

Tesco also sell it: http://www.tesco.com/electrical/Product.aspx?R=8237570

I haven't worked out which one is the cheapest after you add on P+P costs.

its made by black and decker and if your trying ty fit somthing such as a gutter you try measuring it while on a ladder holding on to the gutter the tape measure and mark it all out while your (son/wife/mother/etc are trying to 'help')
