The Tiroler Titanium Ring — an innovative measurement solution for everyday life that was created by Japanese engineers.

The device offers length measurement of objects with a built-in wheel and ruler, and is suitable for measuring on uneven and curved surfaces. An audible beep helps keep track of the number of units measured. The metric version clicks every 10 centimeters, the imperial — every 5 inches.

The tool costs $58 on pre-order.
