There is a tuning tool available, but it's just a sort of spring

Read once you should measure and memorize your body parts and you can
become a walking ruler, no need to carry one.
Stick to stuff like fingers, finger joints, wrist bone to elbow bone,
etc. You don't want to get arrested while taking measures.
