# Double-Sided Measurers The Two-Ended Tape Dually Enables Dexterity for Your Handy Tasks By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoended-tape References: [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/en/online-exhibition/concept/?code=981&y=2013&c=11&a=0) That trusty [tape measure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/setime-clock) that can be found in every [toolbox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-toolbox-workstation) isn't quite as efficient as it could be. This is proven by the invention of the Two-Ended Tape, which facilitates a handful of handy jobs at which its single-sided counterpart falls short. Whether you're engaged in carpentry, crafts or home decoration, this [dual roll apparatus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lidar) can help you to easily discern the midpoint of a panel without having to practice your rusty skills in division. Simply place the case in between the two strips and pull both out until they extend to the limits of what you're measuring. Ensure that they've been drawn out equally, and the Two-Ended Tape Measure provides a marking at the middle. The Professor Bao Haimo and team's device is also ideal for gauging inset spaces and taller objects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dual-function Tools:** Opportunity for innovative products that serve multiple purposes in various industries. - **Enhanced Measurement Tools:** Market demand for improved measuring instruments to increase efficiency and accuracy in different settings. - **Streamlined Task Execution:** Focus on developing tools and systems that simplify and expedite specific tasks. ### Where This Applies - **Carpentry:** Opportunity to create dual-sided measuring tools tailored to carpentry needs. - **Crafts:** Innovative solutions for craft projects that require precise measurements and ease of use. - **Home Decoration:** Industry can benefit from measurement tools that assist with accurate spacing and measuring taller objects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Rounded Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enso-tape.md) - [Digital Laser Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-laser.md) - [Next-Gen Connected Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-tape-measure.md) - [Next-Gen Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comandi.md) - [Bluetooth-Connected Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datapro-25.md) - [Magnetic Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tisolver.md) - [Titanium EDC Rolling Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiroler-20.md) - [Multifunctional Renovation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maka.md) - [Modular Laser Measure Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-laser-measure.md)
