   Makes sense to me👠  
      
      
   I have an old Lufkin tape measure that lives in my center console cup   
   holder. I'm terribly near sighted so seeing detail up close is not much   
   of a problem, just look over top of my glasses. I usually have some   
   sort of multitool on me, which covers a lot of bases too. I'll bring   
   along other items if I suspect they could be useful on an outing...
