Turn anything into a measuring stick with the three-inch Cardstick

Many things claim to be credit-card sized, but none can be more perfectly exact than the Cardstick, a ruler that sticks onto your actual credit card, and is therefore atom-for-atom the exact same size as that card (if you ignore the fact that it adds a little depth to one end of the card).

Further, because the Cardstick is a ruler, you can measure other objects which claim to be “credit-card sized” and verify their credentials.

The Cardstick is a self-adhesive vinyl sticker that wraps around the edge of the credit card, offering three inches worth of graduated measurement, with centimeters on the other side for people who care how long things really are.

You’re not limited to credit cards, either. The sticker can be stuck on any available flat object. A phone would be handy, as would a camera, paper notebook or anything else you always carry with you. And if you’re happy with knowing only that it measures more than three inches, you could always stick it on your [Enough! -Ed].

The Cardstick is available now, for $5.
