                Wanted to recommend the same. Something I learned on the job and it has saved me and some colleagues a few times.

                    I have a tiny 3ft tape measure on my keychain for similar reasons. It's so handy!

                      What were they measuring? Is this for things he was good at guessing versus would often have trouble?

                        That does actually sound like it would be neat to do. I don't understand why ... but it does.

                          You'll get good at estimating lengths fast doing that, the feedback loop works. Do the same thing with scales for weights. Do the same thing with wrist watch/timer for durations. Pretty soon you get a nickname from your wife 'master of time and space'

                            I have a small keychain laser measurer that I originally bought to use when calculating focal distance with manual camera lenses.

                            But I find I'm often whipping it out to randomly check how far away I am from random things.

                            It's oddly very fun.

                              It seems a bit too exciting for dull men.

                                Do you have a brand or link for that? I’ve yet to see a keychain sized one

                                    Once I manage to stop hitting the snooze button and crawl my lazy ass out of bed I'll take a photo of it. I bought mine at Canadian Tire. Should be similar in any hardware stores.

                                      I lied....in my brain it feels smaller than it is because ive gotten used to it. But now that I actively look at it again, "keychain" sized is a bit of a stretch.

                                      Although I do use it on my keychain, so maybe ive just gotten accustomed to it.

                                          They were of a size that made measuring necessary. Whether that is big or small is something I'll let you decide for yourself.
