Crayola, of all companies, have released this nifty “Total Tools Audio Ruler,” a device that audibly speaks the distance it has travelled, in quarter-inch increments, while leaving a trail of disappearing ink. Extraordinarily slick—and only eight bucks!—but it only operates to distances of one foot. Expect a power tools brand to remedy that with an industrial strength model soon.

Total Tools?
They must think we’re idiots!
It’s not just German companies who can come up with poorly researched product names: American Crayola also gave the world the fuzzy wuzzy brown crayon in 1998.
Haha. Touche! It never crossed my mind.
Reminds me of a great Father Ted episode
It would be a handy assistive device for someone who is visual impaired – it would cost $300 if it were sold in a medical supply store.
What a great idea for the vision impaired!
A bloke at my school had a Crayola ruler. He was the coolest guy in school. His name was Russ Man Russ.
