    Quick, what the center of 13 1/4"?

    Here's a really inexpensive, well-made tape measure. It's the Lufkin Self-Centering Tape. The 1” X 25 foot Self-Centering Tape helps you quickly find the center of your measurement saving you the time. The tape comes with a yellow clad blade that has bold black and red numbers for easy reading. The black numbers represent the objects measurement while the red numbers represent the center measurement.  Here’s an example of how this tape measure works. Say you to find the center of a picture you're going to hang up. It measures 13 ¼ on the top black numbers. You now need to know what the exact half measurement is. All you need to do is look at the red numbers below and it will tell you it’s 6 & 5/8.  The 1” slightly bowed metal tape can extend over six feet without bending. It’s one of those ‘why didn’t someone think of this long ago’ type gadgets. As of 9/17/14 it was under $6.00 on Amazon, and it's Amazon Prime, so free shipping if you're a member. Note: Mine ruler is the L725. There seems to be an almost identical one, the L625, but mine looks like it's reinforced with rubber.
