Measuring Wire

 small, handy and adjustable
 
(0) 		  [vote for,

Rolled up on a tiny, flat, enclosed spindle, the elastic wire is 40 cm long and ringed with millimeter lines and slightly thicker centimeter lines. It has limited stretch, so pulling it taut allows also measuring inches and tenths, feet, a yard and even a meter (37.4). A useful module addition to assemble-yourself Swiss army knives (if there are such things).

Not the same application, so not baked, but I've used these to measure thread pitch diameter [normzone]

       Jury's out on this one. I'd like it if it could do 5m or so, but the lack of legible numbers would be a problem.

       Maybe every 5 or 10 cm marking could be blue and/or red.

       And the most useful feature is being able to garrotte the contractor with it...

       Elastic so you can measure things as they should be, not just as they are. That is true halfbakin'. Stretchy crois to ya.

       A must for the tailor/assassin.
