Multi-Faceted Metal Edge of Measuring Tapes

By now, you must have a fair idea that even the smallest of things designed into our house items are there for a reason. Some of them, seemingly useless and unwanted, might surprise you with how beneficial they can be. Take the metal edge of the measuring tapes, for example.

Are you aware that the little slot known as the nail grab does precisely that – wrap around a screw to help measure a flat surface without needing anyone to hold at the other end? Also, the serrated edge of the metal called the scribing tool helps mark the point by moving it back and forth. Pretty neat, right?
