I use mine especially for inside measurements, as my favorite has one of
the little extending piece.  Most of the time it is used as a story stick,
just transfer the length without reading.the numbers.

When I want a vertical measurement, its a nice tool to prop up without
falling over, or worrying about the bending, etc.

I have one plastic one, in English and Metric, that I use at work where it
needs to be sprayed down prior to entering a room.  Can't get a roll up one
truly clean unless you roll it all out, and keep it out.

Other than that, mine don't get much use, though I have 3 or 4 others.
