The amazing world of LEGO® Technic constructions.
Based on the vision from Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891-1958), a carpenter from Billund/Denmark, whose personal motto was "Only the best is good enough" - Leg Godt (Play Well).
TechnicBRICKs blog (TBs hereafter) is devoted to the LEGO Technic theme and intends to spot mainly on news and developments, rather than new sets reviews or users creations (aka MOCs). However you will also find them here occasionally...
Sometimes there are so simple things, that it took you sometime to realize it worths to post, or to make others to think the same.
Just in case you do not have a trained eye and have too much difficulty to figure out, about the length of each TECHNIC axle, beam or brick, then you have now a new tool as an option...

It's an interesting tool but it isn't available in EU, ohh
It was listed for European countries for some time, mentioning an expected availability date in August and still without price.
No seems it won't be available anymore.
Maybe a mistake to correct closer to the previously expected date.
Oh please... any AFOL worth his/her salt can eyeball the length of a beam or axle from 5 feet away :-)))
(Admittedly, it's taken me some time to get the hang of judging 1x14 beams ;-)
I agree with TJ, lol
haha yep I think TJ is right.. But this is ideal for those who are not experianced AFOL's afterall Lego was originally for kids.. (shhh!) this would be Ideal for the educational Kit Boxes..
I cant help but think they could have made a better shaped piece though, something with proper studs or technic pin holes for MOCing with...
BTW is that confirmation there will not be an 11 Axle?
LOL
At least for the moment. :-/
Pretty nifty device though, brick height, length, liftarm length, axle length, all in one thing
for all of those who can't count...
I can see axle or beam length from few meters away... Still good for beginners.
its a gimmick thats for sure.
when i was four i would just take an axle and place it next to like, a 16 stud technic brick to figure out its length.
Then i grew eyeballs
lollerskatez
These are available at my local LEGO store, but I agree, a person should practice a bit to get to know sizes. It will make the work much faster.
