It might be better than those Evercloze® rubber chains they tried to sell in the late '60s...

You'll need to reel it out and check every number.

Reminds me of my first year as a construction layout guy (long time ago). Super needs a little level loop run and I didn't have my normal level rod with me. He says to get the one out of the back of his truck. So I'm tripping down the line, almost to the end. Looking through the scope I see something like 10 feet 11 tenths. WHAT! I didn't even know they made level rods in feet and inches. Didn't even try to close out the level run.
