Hello,
I've invented, patented and will be offering a new tool to the public
soon. I just thought I'd give this forum the heads up. It's a one
foot
repeating ruler printed on clear tape that doesn't pull up the
surface
when removed. The printing on the tape is red and the name of the
product is Red Tape.

Sincerely,


Chris

Very cool product, I can't wait to see some moron
on a job site using it to tape something like a
cardboard box closed or to repair a cut on an
extension cord.

Actually, taping a box might be perfect application since many shippers
charge by the dimensions or limit the dimensions!

To whom were you addressing your comment? I'm not
the inventor, I was complementing him.

Kind of like those guys who use screwdrivers to hammer tacks.
Hehehehe. "If you build it they'll misuse it..."

I think it depends on how you define "invent". For common usage I
don't think it's a stretch. Before I made a product I did research
tape, measuring devices and all similar inventions. I didn't want to
infringe on any existing patents or submit a patent when a similar
claim had been made. The patent is pending and my research suggests
that most inventions are variations on a theme. I wouldn't go so far
as to claim I invented a measuring device where none existed before.
In fact, rulers date back prior to 1500 BC (Indus Valley). More
accurate forms of measurement exists and people have gotten by without
my product without loosing a limb. But there are instances where this
simply works better than existing tools. I could not buy this product
before I produced it, thus invent really isn't too wild a claim.

If there's a market and you believe in the idea, go for it. :-) If
you were taking a jibe I think a better one might have been "I think
I'll invent a milk jug with quart marks on it." Or, perhaps, "I think
I'll invent a shoe with self guiding laces." hehehehehe.

I use my big Kline screwdriver as a chisel and to punch
out electrical box knock outs and of course my Kline
lineman's pliers as a hammer and a reamer.

I've used my tablesaw to do nearly everything except slice bread.
Sometimes the best tool is the one in your hand at that moment.
